I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Asked me questions about different scenarios, what would I do if something would occur, had to get in water and demonstrate skills...They really wanted to talk about the Christian basis of the company and how it is important to have Christian roots...
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you handle a parent who is mad at you for yelling at their child?
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.
Couple of behavioral / skill questions related to the training classes. Know all the types of saves and when to perform them. Also, know how to answer situational changes. 1 short interview with the lead Aquatics director. Offer next day
