I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Abilities in Dec 2012
Interview
On their website you can send in your information to be contacted for an interview. Depending on whether or not there is a hiring freeze, you can usually expect to be contacted within the week by phone. They prefer that you not call to ask about employment status because we all use our personal cell phones as our contact. The interview process is pretty informal, wear something nice but we're not asking for a suit. You'll be asked about your experience in the field and whether or not you can handle certain situations. Be honest, because these situations are the norm for our company. You may or may not be called back for a last minute orientation, because we experience unexpected upswings in need of care and sometimes need immediate help.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There are several questions regarding what you would do if there was a physical incident. If a client grabbed your hair or smacked you in the face. Sometimes it's not clear what the answer is if you've never experienced it before. So definitely choose your answer carefully because otherwise, you will not get the job.
I applied online. I interviewed at Abilities (Warrensburg, MO) in Jan 2016
Interview
Very short interview process. Was asked general information regarding oneself and background. No outside knowledge was needed in order to do well during this process. Interviewer was friendly, welcoming. Remember** they need you more than you need them.
VERY INFORMAL!!! At my interview, the program manager was in pajama bottoms and a dirty, stained t-shirt. My interview was at three o'clock in the afternoon. After working at the company for about two weeks, I met the owners for the first time. They said, "Who are you?"...definitely not a good first impression on their behalf!
