I applied online. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Downers Grove, IL) in Apr 2016
Interview
Applied through an online application and received an email to conduct a phone interview. Standard information going over my resume. Then I was called in to perform the lifeguard requirements tasks which included laps with different strokes. I took a written test and showed all my certification. I went home and received a phone call a couple days later.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
