Forest Home Interview Questions
& Process

I had a phone call first, and then a second interview over lunch at a local restaurant. The employer asked me a bunch of questions that I now know were scripted, to see if I was a good fit for them. They first asked about my spiritual life because it's a Christian workplace, and then about my professional life and how I handle certain situations.

The interview process started with a phone screening with my potential boss. Then there was an in-person/group interview with my potential boss and coworkers. After that, I interviewed with another Senior Director. Finally, I had an interview with the President of Forest Home. I didn't always hear back from Forest Home quickly between interviews, but I could get the info I needed when I called.

The interview process was really strange. After I applied, about a week later, I got an automated email from a third-party site on behalf of Forest Home saying I was selected for a 'pre-recorded video interview.' I didn't get a call or even an email from a person in HR, which was very unusual. The video interview had 9 questions. One was about the job and why I was interested, but the other 8 were about religious beliefs and asked me to back up my answers with scripture. I'm Christian, so I could do it, but it was unexpected and difficult to switch gears like that when I thought I'd be discussing my experience and the company's mission. I still haven't spoken to anyone directly after finishing the video. It was a weird process.

It was pretty easy. They mostly wanted to check if you're a strong believer. Having more availability increases your chances of getting hired. They want you to act like Christ and do more than expected for the guests.
