Interviewed Mar 2010 (took a day)
The interviewers were very nice and shared the core values of the company. The job description was brief. They answered questions. However, I would have asked more questions but felt limited by being in a group. I felt that a group interview was unprofessional. More interviews, I believe, will take place if the candidate passes the first interview. As customary, salary was not discussed but it was inferred that the satisfaction of helping seniors would be part the compensation....leading a candidate to believe that the salary would be low.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
The interviewing process is lengthy, comprising of: (1) Group interview with other coordinators (2) 1:1 interview with Executive Director (3) phone interview with area nursing director and phone interview with area executive director.
When you walk in the door, they will have you wait in the bistro and offer you tea, etc. They will note how you treat the concierge and the seniors-- do you strike up a conversation with the seniors while you are waiting? Are you pleasant and outgoing?
They have a list of targeted questions that start with "give me a word that best describes you" ("compassionate" is valued more than "hard working") "why are you interested in this job" "tell me a little bit about your job history " then it gets more specific " "tell me a time when you were in conflict with a co-worker and how you handled it" or "give me an example of a patient you worked with who was difficult and explain what you did to address the issue" or "tell me about a person who you supervised who was not doing well, what did you do to intervene/coach/help them and what were the results?"
They are looking for specific anecdotes.- not generalizations. If you deny having conflict then you won't get the job, they want to see your problem solving skills (and believe me you will need them!)
They value "team players" They value flexibility (and you WILL need to be flexible.
They look for volunteer work on your resume-- it shows you are dedicated and will go the extra mile without expecting monetary compensation.
Also, it seems they have problems with people who live far away-- if you live more than 30 minutes away, you MUST somehow work into the interview (if you even get one) how reliable your transportation is, how the commute is no problem- you love to drive etc.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
They are very hesitant to reveal the salary range (it is low for the industry) For this position it was 55,000-63,000. If you are too forward, then they will not hire you because they know that are there for the salary only will quickly become unhappy. I knew this, but thought that some of the good points would outweigh it. I waited until the last interview to ask what the range was, then they offered me the highest because of my experience. For some positions, the ED has the ability to offer more, depending on how well he facility is doing for others, I don't think they can.

Interviewed Dec 2008 (took 1 week)
the person conducting the interview seemed nice. She was pretty late though. She asked questions like why do you want to work here? Do you have any experice? (Allthough I don't think they care if you have any expericence most people they hire don't wich is propbly the reason for the high turnover rate.) Have you ever had a fight or disagreement with another co-worker? How did you handle that situation?
