I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Oakland, CA)

Very easy and straightforward. Hiring staff was clear and concise. You interview with 2-4 staff members to avoid multiple interviews. Arrive on time and make sure to ask questions. They want to see that you’re interested in learning more about the position you’re applying for

So I’ve received two job offers from Kaiser Permanente (remote) and Hot Topic (hybrid) as a Contract Senior Accountant via a staffing agency. Kaiser is paying me $4/hr higher than the Hot Topic position but I’ve asked them to increase the pay and let me know. I’m waiting to hear back. Regardless of the rate, which company should I go for? They’re both 5 month contract positions and I enjoy contract because I get to gain different experience and add more skill sets to my resume. Please help!

Difficult Interview
Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente

Interview

Interview was not what was expected in the slightest. Panel members continuously harped on topics such as plumbing and welding when this was advertised as a plant operator position. There were two positions on Kaiser's website: "Operating Eningeer- Plant" and "Operating Engineer - Facilities", and I applied to the former. This may have been a mistake on HR's part, but the panel expected me to be experienced in every single trade when I expected to be interviewed for plant operations and maintenance. For the pay that was being offered, there was an unrealistically high level of knowledge they wanted across all trades.

Interview Questions
  • Q: Are you skilled at using a drain auger? Q: How much welding and brazing have you done? Q: How much experience do you have taking apart pumps? Q: How much carpentry, painting, and drywall experience do you have? Q: What are the ratings of the equipment at the facility you currently work at? Q: Are you okay working with various foreign matter that patients have tried to flush down the drains?
