I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Freehold, NJ) in May 2012
Interview
This was a wonderful, and relaxed environment. Everyone was very nice and helpful. This was my first job, and they could sense that I was nervous, but they made me feel so comfortable and like I was just sitting at the kitchen table talking with my family. My interviewer became one of my biggest advocators in the years to come.
Smooth and welcoming. The interaction was positive and conversation flowed nicely throughout. I felt like my answers were being listened to, and that the interviewers were very engaged with me and what I had to say.

Question 1
What my background was and how it would fit into this role
very good. good people there who work there and i like to work there because it is very fun being outside and talking with good people and free popsicles and the interviewer was nice and respectful and all oof that.
The interview process was overall easy. You just need to have your certifications, you need to pass a breathing test, and you need to pass a swim test. Pretty easy interview.
