      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at The Y (YMCA)

      Interview

      Easy, asks relevant questions. Casual, you should know the job and be ready to show up early and take it seriously. You’ll be the best at the job if you just do that.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      what experience do you have with customer service
      Answer question
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Louisiana, MO) in May 2021

      Interview

      The interview process was very positive and asks fair questions that you can answer if you’re serious about the job. What sets you apart is if you can incision yourself in that role 5 years later.

      Question 1

      Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
