"I have learned to recognize the things that may cause me to feel overwhelmed and try to address them before a situation gets out of hand. For example, I always like to check my calendar at the end of my shift and then again the next day before a new shift begins. This helps me to stay on task and prepare for events in a timely manner without leaving me feeling overwhelmed later on."

"Being an activities aide does require the ability to multitask while handling situations that may create stress. I feel it is important to know our own personal strengths and weaknesses. For instance, I am very detail oriented and like to keep written records to refer to. I like to make sure that I know what activities are scheduled for my shift are and make sure that I have a mental list of what needs to be done and in what order. It makes most situations less overwhelming."

Planning activities for large groups of patients/residents requires the ability to multitask and ensure all details are checked and double-checked. In an activities aide interview, discuss your understanding of the importance of maintaining an accurate calendar of events and share ways that you encourage patients to be involved with planned activities.
