      Assistant Residential Director Interview

      Aug 7, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Oneonta, NY
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at The Arc (Oneonta, NY) in Jan 2014

      Interview

      I met with the Residential Director. He was the person in charge of the residential side of the Arc. (This acronym is now used instead of its former name, Association for Retarded Citizens.) (Other parts of the Arc, such as the workshops, are under other directors.) After reviewing my resume and asking a few questions about it to get more depth, he described the posted job responsibilities to me. This was an upper-level management position, where the individual oversaw the managers responsible for all aspects of taking care of developmentally and intellectually disabled individuals who lived together in group homes, including overseeing the running of the house itself, and the support staff. This was a one-on-one, in-person interview with only an initial interview being done (no subsequent interviews.)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      He asked me why I applied for a job I knew I probably wasn't qualified for.
