What made you choose a career as an Activities Aide?
"I actually worked as a nursing assistant for a while, but when the opportunity to work in an activity department became available, I applied. I loved the idea of getting to care for people by giving them something fun to look forward to each day."
"I have always enjoyed working closely with people and assisting people. There is much more to being an activities aide than many people realize. When I became involved and saw how much those I care for looked forward to seeing me each day and what it meant to them to have someone to be involved in their lives, I knew I had made the right decision."
Your choice of profession tells alot about you. Interviewers often ask what made you choose a specific profession. It's their way of getting to know you and seeing how passionate you come across regarding your choice.
"I love working with people. At one time I considered going to nursing school, but I just wasn't sure if that was the right choice for me. I visited some different healthcare facilities and realized how active the Activity Director and the aides who worked with her were in their patient's daily lives. I just felt like this would be a great fit for me."
