Are you a caring person at heart? Are you someone who pays attention to every detail? Can you accurately communicate what you see and hear? Do you act with a sense of urgency when something needs to be fixed?
Do you listen with kindness and patience when a loved one tells you the same story again and again? When someone is having a bad day, do you know how to console them? Can you empathize with their troubles without getting down yourself?
Are you a compassionate person who finds joy in caring for others? Do you have exemplary communication skills where you are able to effectively relay information? Are you the “go-to” person when your friends or family have to make a difficult decision?
Do you pick up on details that others miss? Do you communicate kindness and patience when you talk with someone new? Can you sustain those qualities on a long-term basis? And can you maintain your emotional balance when sharing the highs and lows of people in your life?
How well do you handle responsibility? Are you comfortable supervising others? When you take charge of a team, can you still be part of that team? Do you appreciate the benefit of keeping accurate paper and electronic records?
Do friends and family look to you when an emergency arises? What’s your first action when a crisis occurs? Do you communicate kindness, patience and empathy? Are you observant of details? Do you anticipate problems and act quickly when you see something amiss? Can you approach difficult situations with optimism as well as concern?
Do you get satisfaction from helping strangers? When people ask for your help, do they come away feeling better than when you met them? Can you maintain your cool even under pressure? Do you enjoy solving problems?
Do you separate feelings from performance—or do you wear your emotions on your sleeve? Do friends marvel at your even-tempered demeanor? Do you communicate clearly? Are your organizational skills the envy of those who know you? Are you detail-oriented?
Are you energetic? Do you enjoy being in the middle of a busy workplace? Are you someone who anticipates needs, then takes a few extra seconds to get things right? Do you see the value in providing a service to others, or does that seem like a burden?
Are you prompt? Courteous? When you experience pressure, how do you react? Can you empathize with people who, due to their own problems, may treat you discourteously? How would you make the dining experience pleasant and social?
Can you follow directions and routines? Do you stand up well under pressure and deadlines? Are you conscientious? When it comes to taking risks, do you consider safety first? Are you comfortable working especially hard for shorter periods of time?
Are sanitation guidelines important to you? Do you appreciate the importance of your own health—and the health of others? Do you consider food to be fuel or nourishment? Do you cry when someone slices an onion?
In addition, we will gladly keep you in mind for positions with environmental services, housekeeping, life enrichment and transportation when openings become available.
