Nursing home administrator Interview Questions

I was feeling very confident in my interaction with the Board group when the driest member posed this question as I thought we were wrapping up with this panel. It caught me off guard which I'm sure they detected. I paused for a few seconds, and then smiled and said something like "you would like a two minute response rather than me take two minutes to think about it and then provide a response." That made all of them laugh and I then provided a positive do-good type of response regarding humanity and the world. They complimented me on my response and asked why I paused. I hesitated because I felt my response might be perceived as pageant-like (never been in one...not a fan either), and I then asked why that question. The Board member, a professional businessman, said that he receives all types of responses to that question including the world is in turmoil and coming to an end, doom and gloom responses, etc.. He felt the type of response a candidate provides can correlate with how that person will interact with internal/external customers as well as the energy they will project at work.

They are kind of a joke.
