Institutions invest a lot of money advertising their job openings. The interviewer wants to hear what methods are effective and which are not. They also want to hear if an employee of their organization referred you. Some institutions offer their employees a referral fee when they refer a candidate while others hire recruiters to seek out qualified Juvenile Correction Officers. Describe how you heard about the position, and be sure to give the name of the employee or recruiter who referred you if applicable.
