After recently completing a
personal support worker job interview, one of our writers was kind enough to
share some of the questions that were ‘fired’ their way during the interview
process.
Practice and formulate your
own answers for these questions (and any other questions that you can think of)
before any job interview in this field. In-fact, it would be recommended to ask
yourself these questions about an employer before applying, putting some of the
answers into your cover letter and listing some of the important
qualifications, attributes and skills within your resume.
Onto the
questions (listed in random order):
Where do you see yourself in
five years?
What are your strengths,
weaknesses, attributes?
What is your definition of
on the job confidentiality? (regarding clients, workplace situations, etc)
The answers to procedural
questions (how to fill out an incident report, operating lifts, wheelchair vans
or any other employer specific duties and tasks)
How did you find out about
this company?
Explain a difficult
situation with a co-worker. How did you solve it?
What are your
accreditations, achievements, certifications, etc? (where you went to school,
first-aid, cpr, and any other relevant info)
Why are you the right person
for this position?
Why did you choose to become
a personal support worker?
If you could improve one
thing about yourself (on the job related), what would it be?
Are you able to work by
yourself and within a team environment?
If you witness
client abuse while on the job, what is the first thing that you do?
