I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA)
Interview
The interview style was relaxed, but with detailed questions that made me think! The people who interviewed me were very easy to talk to, it was a 2 on 1 interview. They were very knowledgable about the company and explained details of what the job would entail.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me about how to handle specific situations with children
Very casual, my interviewer kept things focused on my ability to work with children, public speaking, and working on a team. If you have any experience with working with kids, be sure to have some stories of how you have dealt with incidents relating to behavior.
Group interview with other canidates and panelists. Mostly get to know you style and situtational tasks. You will be interviewing alongside other canidadtes so make sure you stand out and seem unique. Howeer don;t overdo it and remain humble and willing to learn.
