I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Brookdale Senior Living (Jacksonville, FL) in May 2015
Interview
The hiring process is tedious no matter where you go; but this one flowed very well! HR and department heads seem to have great relationships and communication between them about me was consistent. I got a call from dept head the day I applied to come in for an interview; questions were to make sure you have a vested interest and "passion" for care taking and understand the empathy and personal investment it takes to take care of seniors. I enjoy all that stuff so the interview was great! HR head takes care of you from there; training, blood tests etc are required. Everyone is so friendly and open. You can sense the love and joy between the employees toward the commitment for what they do!
