Tips on how to develop a prospective employer/caregiver interview
Caregivers Services Vancouver.
Both the employer and caregiver should have a clear picture of expectations, duties, and work schedule to be performed within the authorized number of hours. This is the guideline to help both sides to develop and understanding of all requirements in the position available.
The following is a list of suggested items that might be included in the interview:
1. Discuss the work schedule that includes start time, lunch, breaks, and finish time.
2. Give information about:
- Employer’s age, physical / mental status, daily routine and general information
- Home responsibilities: housekeeping, laundry, meal preparations, etc.
- Salary, benefits (BC medical coverage), accommodation (if live-in position)
- Personal care, special diet, medication, transportation to doctor appointments.
3. Now that the applicant is aware of the requirements, it’s time for him / her to provide answers to some very relevant and important questions:
- Personal information, educational background and work experience and training
- Medical emergency: “How would you deal with an emergency situation?”
- Previous experience in similar jobs (details)
4. Closing questions:
- Can you handle the job?
- Are you interested to work for us?
- Do you have any questions for us?
Once the interview is concluded it’s time to make a general assessment and write your notes, BEFORE the next interview:
- General impression: appearance, personality, ability to handle the job
- Strengths and weaknesses: language skills, interaction with the employer
- Salary and work load issues.
After a careful consideration of all applicants, you can make your decision who is the best suitable candidate to care for you and your home.
