      Psychiatric Technician Interview

      20 Feb 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Santa Clara, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Santa Clara, CA) in June 2012

      Interview

      I received a recruiters phone call after submitting my resume, application, and cover letter online and was given a date for an in-person interview in a couple of weeks time. I was surprised to learn that the interview was a "group interview". Something less suited for an inpatient psychiatric care position and better suited to a sales associate job at a large chain store. At the interview I was appalled to find that job candidates were asked to wait with members family in a lobby while a hiring manager discussed the job. Since he was not accustomed to working with people in crisis he made all sorts of inappropriate comments.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The questions were pretty common; Describe three characteristics of a good psychiatric technician and tell why they are important. And completely designed to reveal the personality of the applicant; What movie best describes you and why.
