Elder Care Advisor at A Place for Mom
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Saint Louis, MO Jun 2008 – Reviewed Oct 10, 2012
Interview Details –
Two Phone Interviews. The first was with an HR person, and the second was with a member of field management.
The HR person gave me inaccurate salary information.
The 2nd person didn't give me much info at all. She gave me a little knowledge about the industry, a 50 thousand foot view about the duties of the job, and was very guarded about details.
That was it. I was hired and scheduled for training in Seattle.
The training was 4 or 5 days, and was really just a skeleton of information which would need to be filled in OJT/under fire.
There were several weeks of conference calls with a teacher and the class which helped.
Interview Question – How many nickels would it take to equal the Empire State Building's height? View Answer
Negotiation Details – No opportunity for negotiation, as everyone was paid the same (they said).

Senior Resource Coordinator at A Place for Mom
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Seattle, WA – Reviewed Jul 18, 2012
Interview Details – HR generally does a phone interview or two, followed usually by an in-person interview at the corporate offices. The phone interview and follow-up in person interviews are the usual interview questions you would be asked in a call-center setting, especially one dealing with senior related topics. Most of the interview questions are pretty generic scenario-related.
Interview Question – They ask the usual generic 'what if'' scenario questions. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – HR called over the phone and then sent acceptance letter by email that needed to be signed and returend. Somewhat formal.

Senior Family Advisor at A Place for Mom
No Offer – Interviewed in South Bend, IN Aug 2009 – Reviewed Aug 9, 2009
Interview Details –
My interviewer set the phone appt and told me to be ready to ask any questions up front.
I asked several questions and was immediately told by the interviewer "It doesn't sound like you are convinced that this is the job/co for you. Do some more research and call me back if you decide that we are what you are looking for"
What? Before I even interview, I must decide that this 100% commission job is for me? I thought the interview process was for BOTH the employer and employee to learn more about each other.
