I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Atria Senior Living (Houston, TX) in May 2019
Interview
Interviewed with RSD and memory care manager. Simple and standard 20 minute interview. Because of the offer of a lower pay than what I originally wanted, I interviewed with the Executive Director the next day. Met with her and had a one on one conversation and was offered a little more than first offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If a resident was to say something was missing from their room or that you specifically was to blame for the missing item, what would you do?
The process was very easy, and the manager was very welcoming and friendly. Laid out expectations and responsibilities. Gave a clear idea of salary. Just be yourself, don't overthink it.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Atria Senior Living (Albany, NY)
Interview
The interview is quick and easy. They want to make sure you're a polite person with good social skills and patience. It took a few days to get in for the interview but I was offered a position on the spot assuming that I would pass a drug test. I started working within one week of being hired. The shifts are 7 to 3, 3 to 11, and 11 to 7, standard healthcare hours. At night when the residents are asleep it can get boring sitting around for hours, but the atmosphere is so nice and welcoming I don't mind. If all of your jobs are completed for the time being they encourage you to mingle with the residents. Overall I like working here except for the late nights. I would recommend this as a job for someone interested in nursing to make sure you are able to deal with these things.
