Sunrise Senior Living Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Group interview with management.

Negotiation Details – Straight forward. No negotiations.

Interview Details I waited over an hour and a half for my interview and it did not consist of any interview questions. She looked at my resume, asked if I wanted to shadow for a few hours (paid) and then I could decide if I wanted the job.

Negotiation Details – They did not have a negotiation process. I was filling out paperwork for employment when I found out how much I would be making.

Interview Details All we needed to bring was a copy of our resume and license. My interviewer was rude and told me that I was not going to be hired for lack of experience, when I had previously been told NO experience was needed and new grads could apply.

Interview Details I was initially contacted and had a very short phone interview with a member of human resources at a particular location before being cut off (one of our phones). My phone did not save her number, and I attempted to get in contact with her over the next two days, only to be met with impatience and inconsideration by another staff member over the phone. I had multiple different people call me, all scheduling different interview times that conflicted with one another and leave messages, so I was confused as to when I was supposed to meet with their hiring staff. I again, was met with impatience and gross unprofessionalism in comments and behavior from staff, but finally settled on a date for this in-person interview.

I showed up to the interview 15 minutes early, dressed appropriately, with resume and cover letter in hand. I was greeted with a confused look and lack of enthusiasm/professionalism. I stated my name and purpose and was told that I was not supposed to be in that day. Turns out, I was confused with another applicant with the exact same name! She stated to me that they had my application on file, but that the staff I was supposed to speak with (about three people) all happened to sick on the same day and she had no idea when they were coming back or when I could speak to them. She simply handed me a business card and said that someone would get to me within the next few weeks. I was not called or informed of the change of plans, nor was I given an apology. Very disappointed. The facility itself is beautiful and has a very "homey" feel to it. The residents also seemed nice, but I did not have a great first impression of any staff members. I accepted another offer and will decline this offer should a staff member call me back about the position.

Interview Details The business cordinator uses unneccesary forceful and inappropriate tones when commanding requireed documents for employment

Negotiation Details – I was offered an hourly wage that is well below the cost of living for my area.

Interview Details Called for an in person group interview. Verbal questions were a joke, my name and my favorite movie. I was interviewed by an outgoing coordinator so maybe that is the reason for the odd questions.
The indicative part of the interview was pretending to write a letter to a resident's family. That's where you talk about love for service, enjoying individual time etc
BUT I highly recommend you don't apply or accept a job at Sunrise

Interview Details i applied online on monday and got a call for a group interview 2 days later and at my group interview which consisted of about 6 people who applied for different positions. the HR person went around the table and asked the group to tell them about themselves.then asked 2 questions that everyone answers this interview is about how you are able to interact with different people and how comfortable you are with them, so keep eye contact around the table and smile and laugh and be interested in others answers. the next day i was called in to "shadow"a current employee for the position (means that you spend about 4hours to see if the job is what you expect and would want) this was yesterday and im waiting for a answer

Interview Details I was 1 of 5 in the 1st interview and the only one chosen. The second was one on one and then it was 2 months of paperwork and training.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation, take it or leave it. I have a 4 year BS degree in Criminal justice and I was offered 9.50 to start... The same as an 18 year old out of highschool.

Interview Details The hire process is long. From first application until actually working on the floor, it was 3 months. I actually applied twice, before being called. They are very slow to contact or follow up on applications. The people you need to speak with on the phone are never available to take calls. There's a lot of phone tag to get through. When you finally get an interview, it's with a group. They put on a good presentation. The second interview is done 1 on 1 and you get a tour. Then the third time you have about 4 hours of paperwork with HR. And finally you have about 30 hours of online training, before you can actually work on the floor.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation. They start all new people at that rate. So they say... I found out different later.
