7. Have you ever considered going back to school to get certified as an Activity Director?
How to Answer
Interviewers often ask this question. An answer of 'yes' is not as disqualifier, as many people may think. An interest in pursuing a higher education, especially within the same field, tells the interviewer that you are committed to your job. However, being happy with your education level is just as important.

Entry Level
"I really haven't thought about going back to school. I enjoy being an activities aide and having the opportunity to be involved with people and be an active part of their lives. One day, if the opportunity presents itself, I may consider it, but for now I am happy with where I am."

Answer Example
"At one time, I considered becoming a dental hygienist. However, when I began working as an activities aide, I knew this is what I wanted to do from now on. I enjoy being able to spend my days working with people and interacting with them. Many of those we care for do not have family or friends who visit with them. My job allows me to fill a void in their lives and I love it."
