Interview Questions for Upcoming House Mom:

1. What other duties and obligations do you see that fall under the role of our House Director?
1. As our House Director we expect your cooperation in maintaining open communication to our House Corporation. They will communicate with you via email, phone calls and personal visits. At what times do you think you will need to contact them? ( Answer: major repairs, vandalism, trouble with morale/conduct of chapter, summer repairs, safety survey, fire inspections)
2. As House Director your organization skills will be called to keep our house tidy. What are your qualifications with organizing?
3. We will also need you to do calls on getting bids and follow through on making sure all problems are fixed and resolved. Is this something you are able to do? Example: The toilet begins to flood, the water heater goes out, the washer is leaking? What do you do in each of these situations? (Answer: Anything needing immediate fixing should be called in to the repair facility, anything that can be called into House Cor first should also been done)
4. Weekends in the kitchen are relaxed and our cook is not employed. Are you willing to facilitate quick meals with the assistance of the cook on Friday or any house boys? ( ie. Taco bar, potato bar, salad bar, pizza)
5. You are our first line of defense. The door bell ringing late at night, any security breaches will need your attention. Are you comfortable and willing to step to this duty?
6. The house will need repairs or light bulbs changed, instead of paying for each item your creativity and handiwork is needed. How do you see yourself in this role?
