The First Interview
Once you have expressed interest in a particular job/jobs, we will
forward your resume and or/application to a client family. If the
family expresses interest in meeting with you, we will call you
with some suggested interview times. We will then check with the
family, and get back to you with a specific date and time. At that
time, we will give you additional information about the family,
along with their address. Please make sure that you have all the
information necessary, such as the family's name, address, number
and ages of children, job duties, starting date, salary range, etc.
Also make certain that you have directions to their house. Allow
enough time to get there ON TIME. Also, if you feel you need to,
bring a list of questions you can refer to during the interview.
Occasionally, a busy family will want to do a phone interview first.
We will set up and and all phone interviews for you. If a family
calls you directly, without going through the Agency, please let
us know.
A Second Interview
We have a very high job placement success rate, partially because
we require a second interview or half-day trial before you accept
a position. All family members should be present at this second
interview. If the second interview is to be a working half-day trial,
the client family should pay you for your time worked. Please make
sure that you or hometown nannies+ has discussed this with the family
beforehand. It is often suggested that you wait until the second
interview to discuss salary. If you are invited back for a second
interview, it means a family is very interested in you. This interview
will help you and the family make up your minds.
Sample questions FOR CHILDCARE APPLICANTS to ask families:
1. How old are your children? What are their names?
2. What is their schedule? Daily routines?
3. If children are in school, who drives them there? Who picks them
up?
4. What is the nanny's schedule? Job duties?
5. Will there be a car available for use on the job?
6. Can you tell me more about your pets?
7. For how long will you need a nanny?
Live-In applicants may want to ask about other nannies in the area,
about how close the family lives to the nearest stores, theaters,
gym, etc. Live-in applicants may also want to ask about living quarters.
Salary, vacations, & holidays are usually -- but not always -- discussed
during the SECOND interview.
OTHER APPLICANTS SHOULD MAKE A LIST OF QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THE
JOBS FOR WHICH THEY ARE INTERVIEWING. GO OVER THE LIST PRIOR TO
YOUR INTERVIEW.
Please remember that you are representing Hometown Nannies+. We
will work our hardest to find you the job you want. In return, we
expect professionalism and punctuality. |
