Sample Interview Questions and Answers

Question 1: A federal contract for client services has been proposed that includes a significant increase in funding. However, upon further review, it is discovered that the contractor does not meet the minimum requirements for a business entity as specified in the federal guidelines. What steps would you take to address this situation?

To address this situation, I would first verify the findings and confirm that the contractor indeed does not meet the minimum requirements for a business entity. Next, I would consult with our agency's contract review team and relevant federal authorities to determine the best course of action. This may involve notifying the contractor of the issue and requiring them to provide additional documentation or information. If necessary, I would also coordinate with our state's procurement office to explore alternative contracting options that meet the required specifications. Throughout this process, I would ensure clear communication with all parties involved, including our clients and stakeholders, to maintain transparency and compliance with federal regulations.

Question 2: The division is experiencing a budget shortfall due to an unexpected increase in client services demand. What strategies would you implement to manage the budget and identify potential cost-saving measures?

To manage the budget shortfall, I would first assess our current financial situation and identify areas where costs can be reduced or reallocated. This may involve reviewing our existing contracts and renegotiating terms with service providers, exploring alternative funding sources, or implementing cost-saving measures within our own operations. Additionally, I would analyze our budgeting processes to determine if any adjustments are necessary to better anticipate future demand and ensure fiscal sustainability. Some potential strategies could include identifying underutilized resources, streamlining administrative tasks, or developing partnerships with other state agencies or community organizations to share costs and expertise.

Question 3: The department is considering implementing a new policy for managing public records, which would require significant changes to our current procedures. What process would you follow to ensure the new policy meets federal and state requirements, while also ensuring compliance with DSHS's equity and social justice commitments?

To ensure the new policy meets federal and state requirements, I would first consult with relevant authorities and experts in public records management to verify that our proposed policy aligns with current regulations. Next, I would engage with stakeholders across the agency, including colleagues from various departments and external partners, to gather input and feedback on the draft policy. This collaborative approach would also help ensure that the new policy takes into account the department's equity and social justice commitments. Throughout this process, I would prioritize transparency, inclusivity, and accessibility to guarantee that our clients' needs are considered and respected.
