Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was quite thorough, and it included a team approach where I interviewed with the people I would be supervising. It was a back-and-forth questioning format, very interactive, and it gave me a good feel for the company and its goals.

The hiring process involved a single interview held at the Gahanna facility, primarily because a new Director of Nursing (DON) was in place. The interviewer was the admissions director. Despite feeling the interview went well, and even receiving the interviewer's personal cell number for follow-up questions, no subsequent call was received. The interviewer had mentioned a call would be made the following day, or Monday at the latest, with a decision on an offer. The lack of any communication, even to decline the offer, was surprising given the personal contact information provided.

Behavioral Presentation
I went through 3 rounds of interviews. First, I spoke with an administrator, then the management team, and finally a panel of residents from the dining committee. Since I was already working for the company at another location, I was invited to apply for this role. For someone coming from outside the company, the process would be longer and involve more steps, including interviews with senior management.

First, there's a basic interview, then a background check and a TB test. After that, there's an orientation which mostly involves signing papers but it's hard to schedule. Assistants have to do two orientations, a general one and one specifically for assistants. Then you get the offer.
