I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Brookdale Senior Living
Interview
Got an interview quickly, the promptly got back to me with a time. There were two interviewers because I was applying under two different departments. They were very friendly and personable, it was more like a conversation than an interview. They really wanted someone with an upbeat and positive personality.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you waited tables before?
Have you worked with the elderly before?
What is your current schedule like?
What do you like to do for fun?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Brookdale Senior Living (Mesa, AZ) in Jan 2023
Interview
The interviewer immediately went into the day to day duties of the job. The interviewer had no hesitation in hiring me on, probably due to my amount of relevant experience. However, because you are working with senior citizens, their background and drug check process takes a decent amount of time to go through. Do not expect to begin working immediately.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work with senior citizens? Can you handle upset customers? Are you willing to socialize and learn about the senior citizens?
It took awhile all together, mainly because of the background checks, drug and alcohol test result return, and skin test results; but the actual interview itself wasn't long at all, and I didn't have to wait long for them to make up their minds.
