I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Wild Iris Recreation (Boulder, CO) in Feb 2010
Interview
The interview was great. Very friendly and sort of a breeze due to my past experience in the industry. The woman interviewing me was excited to have an over-qualified candidate willing to work right away. She made sure too that my lifeguard-related certifications were up to date, which they were except for CPR, but they offered classes and I just got re-certified.
