- Read the IP Hiring Guide thoroughly and reference specific sections (e.g., “Required Certifications” or “Electronic Visit Verification”) in your cover letter to show you’ve followed their exact process.

• Update every contact field (email, phone, address) in the online portal before you submit; the system flags incomplete profiles, and a mismatched email often leads to missed communications.
• Create a one‑page “Caregiver Portfolio” that lists your current certifications (e.g., CPR/First Aid, HHA, CNA), years of experience with similar client populations, and a brief sample care plan that mirrors CDWA’s documentation style. Attach it as a PDF when you click “Add Supporting Documents.”

• During the interview, be ready to discuss availability, flexibility for after‑hours calls, and your approach to virtual communication with families—CDWA interviewers prioritize providers who can stay reachable and document interactions promptly.
• Research the typical hourly rate for CDWA Individual Providers in Washington (≈ $22‑$28/hr) and prepare a concise justification (certifications, years of experience, client satisfaction scores) so you can negotiate confidently if salary isn’t disclosed upfront.
