The interview was set up quickly and was really helpful in explaining what the job entails. Even though I had to wait a bit, the interview went well and even ran a little long. I got to answer a lot of questions without feeling pressured. I was hoping for a higher salary, but they were clear upfront that there was no room for negotiation. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience.

Behavioral

The interview was about 15 minutes. The interviewer, who seemed high-strung and perky, was distracted and talked more about the previous receptionist and how much she annoyed her. She wasn't professional and didn't even close her office door. I got a quick tour, and the community area was nice and clean. The Executive Director wasn't seen during this time; I met them later.

The interview process was very quick and professional. The Business Office Manager was very direct in questioning what I brought to the position and in explaining the function of the facility, as well as mentioning that they were at the beginning of the candidate interview process.
