Interviewed Apr 2009 in Silver Spring, MD (took a day)
Walked in with a former employee, whom recommended me, I was introduced to the manager and supervisor. Was told to fill out application. I received a phone call the next day to go in, I had to shadow an employee, for about 30 minutes, then was asked by manager if I liked the job, my hours and that was it. Was called a few days later and had to go take a drug test, and they conducted a background check as well. Thats it.
Negotiation Details
None for my position either you take it or leave it. What you have to be mindful of is that newer you are the more they offer than to previous employees whom are currently working. So I recommend not sharing your pay.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 2 months)
I was contacted after sending in my resume via email. I had a quick phone interview and then invited to group interview. Group interview asked many diverse personality and attitude questions. Called back for one on one in person interview. After passing the background check was offered a position. Good training re Sunrise policy.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Huntington Beach, CA (took a day)
I was emailed to come in for a group interview. I called to confirm that I would be there. I was in a group of people. There was no individual interview. In the group was a nurse with experience in the field. I am sure she got the job. I feel the interview wasn't fair, as each person wasn't given the opportunity to personally interact with the staff. There was an observer taking notes the whole time. No one there for the interview asked questions.

Interviewed May 2010 in Cary, NC (took a day)
Applied via online application and resume submission. Was a referral from a current employee. First communication was via phone to set up interview date. Interview was professional. A list of behavioral questions from corporate HR and review of my resume and qualifications. The staff was very nice, cordial and professional. The offices and community was top rate and well maintained.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took a day)
I had an initial phone interview that asks the basic behavioral questions that led to a one on one interview with the facility director. Interview went well but I could tell the Director was annoyed...not sure if she was having a bad day or if it was at me. I went on a tour of the facility, met the staff and residents. I sent a follow up thank you and I haven't heard a word. Typical!

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 3 weeks)
Had to chase this job down. (which I now regret!) they are very slow in their hiring process and you have to be persistent .The staffing doesn't affect the managers, so they are not in a hurray to hire lower staff. they just make them work harder. The HR is hired from a lower position such as a housekeeper so they are slow, unorganized and incompetent. they lose important papers and "forget" to send you for testing. they are not even knowledgeable about how to use basic office equipment let alone policies or procedures.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
nothing to negotiate . A part-time position you would think is two or three days...at sunrise they make all non-management staff work four hours/ five days a week plus every other weekend unless they're short then you have to work every week-end. management does not have to cover for short staffing. if you need a day off or are sick you have to find own coverage or too bad. Please think VERY CAREFULLY before working here!

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
I applied for this position 4 times in 9 months. I then found an employee to refer me from the inside. A month later after 2 phone interviews I got an interview with the Exec Dir & a sales person. The ED was impressed with my credentials, knowledge & passion. The sales person was looking for the person they wanted to work with - I knew during our discussion it was not me. I sent thank you notes and made f/u calls - they were still interviewing. This position is posted again. Not one of the 4 people who interviewed me ever got back to me with any email, letter or call. After interviewing with other Senior communities I would have to say Sunrise lacks professionalism in their hiring process.
