I have an interview coming up for a position as an Activity Director for Alzheimer's patients. Although I worked somewhat in Activities for seniors, I have a few questions for those of you in that field. Maybe you could help me prepare for the interview.
1. Not having been a Director as such, what would you suggest for starting salary? I have a 2 year dgree.
2. What would you wear for such an interview? I always thought shirt and tie, but I'm told there is such a thing as OVER dressing for certain positions.
3. What kind of questions would you ask.
I'm so excited...I would LOVE doing this. LOVE working with seniors.
Thanks.

Perhaps you could speak about creative ideas for activities. Maybe a well-written letter of recommendation would help. As far as dressing, how about dress pants, a nice sports coat and tie? I would think that would be appropriate. As to questions, just stay away from things like "when do I get my vacation?" (You sound very upbeat & intelligent to me so best wishes)!
