The interviewer wants to know a little about you and why you want to be a Recreation Worker. This is your time to talk about what you are passionate about. When working with residents/clients there is generally a reason that people want to with either elderly or the youth- this may be because they want to make a difference at a senior center or changes the lives of young kids.
This is your chance to show the interviewer why you want to be in this career and why you want to make a difference in people's lives. Take time prior to the interview to think about why you want to be a Recreation Worker. You don't have to come up with a ton of reasons why you want to do this job, but you should have a solid answer thought out prior.
"Growing up my grandparents passed away before I was born, so I never got the traditional grandparent experience. When I was in eighth grade I join a club after school that took as to the nursing home to hangout with residents there- I love it. The residents were generally interested in knowing about our lives and telling us about theirs. Ever since the first day I went there, I have continued to volunteer there and I want to make a bigger difference than just volunteering- I want to change and help people."
