Our interviews start with welcoming the applicant and thanking them for coming in. We then ask them to give us a brief description of their work history. I like to tell them what the job is about and what my expectations are. Some typical questions are:
1) Tell me about a difficult work situation and how you overcame it.
2) What skills make you the most qualified for this position?
3) How would your current/most recent employer describe you?
4) How would you describe your own working style?Our organization also grew from 45 employees and 2 locations to now over 250 employees and 7 locations. We added the middle management team a couple years ago and now the new executive team is redistributing their duties to give them more time to spend with each employee on goals and training. We are working on retention which is proving to be difficult due to CHC’s rate of pay. We believe that working one on one with employees to answer questions and provide detailed training we will be able to retain employees.
I like to make my staff laugh and feel comfortable. I let them know that we ALL make mistakes but that we need to learn from them and move on. It’s a problem when you continue to make the same mistake.
