I applied online. I interviewed at Irvine Company (Irvine, CA) in May 2011
Interview
3 interviews then you go through and "on-boarding" training program for 3 weeks. After which you will interview with several Community Managers until one of them selects you to work at their community. A very degrading process. It should be direct placement instead of all the hoops you must go through.
Very generic and almost just going off a script. You usually start with a screen call with a recruiter and then if you do well, you’ll interview at the community you applied for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you overcame a difficult situation.
asks standard questions and if youre familiar with company. recruiter reaches out to you super straight forward. reaches out to you via email or by phone. you come to the property and meet many people.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Irvine Company (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
First and only interview was less than 10 minutes. Interviewed directly with the hiring manager and was only asked 2-3 simple questions about my precious experience, and a situational question such as “how would you deal with an upset resident”. Overall very simple. They either knew the type of person they wanted to represent their company, or they’re just easy going and don’t require too much from a person in terms of interview questions. Some companies are crazy anal about small little details of how the dialogue went.
