I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Country Meadows Retirement Communities (Leaders Heights, PA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Applied for the job at a college job fair and was immediately called in by an HR rep. After speaking with the HR rep, she took me to the supervisor of the floor that had a job opening and I also interviewed with her. The interview questions were very typical questions you would be asked for an entry level position. After the interview, I shadowed a fellow PCA. The next day the HR rep contacted me asking about the experience and I was hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Strengths and weaknesses, interest in healthcare, okay with working bodily fluids, career goals. I was asked a few situational questions about what would you do if a resident told you they were being abused, or what to do if a resident falls, etc.
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Country Meadows Retirement Communities (Allentown, PA) in Dec 2022
Interview
Short phone interview, met in person with manager, toured and met some other workers and the residents. Beautiful facility! Everyone was very nice and welcoming. I was called the next day and offered a job and start after I work out my notice at my current job.
