What is one of your favorite memories as an activities aide?
"There was a lady that was a resident at a nursing home where I worked. She loved to paint and said that when she was younger she dreamed of being an artist. Every time we had an activity that involved painting, she was one of the first people to come in and get involved. She displayed all of her 'artwork' like she was being honored in a gallery. I will never forget her."
Events that make an impression on you speak a lot about what you value. Share something with the interviewer that made you happy or someone who touched your life.
"I will never forget a resident at the previous facility where I worked. Every time we had a dance scheduled, he would come to the activity director's office and ask me if I was going to save a dance for him. I can't dance and he pretty much couldn't either, but I always made time for one dance with him. He was always so happy because I took the time to make him feel special by dancing with him."
