I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Waltham, MA) in Sep 2012
Interview
A thorough interview with the Aquatics Director who you will report too, covers a skill check to make sure you have passed the lifeguard exam as well as some personality and behavioral questions about yourself.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What to do if a child approaches you complaining of a sore neck?
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.
Swim test and basic questions. Very chill and conversational. Gave me introduction to their different systems and showed me how to change my hours and look for cover. I recommend wilting here!
