We did a group interview where we went around the circle answering questions. Super fun and very camp like. Got to speak with current counselors and play games to get to know each other. They just want to see that you are willing to have fun while being able to maintain professionalism.

Question 1
Is discipline necessary when it comes to handling difficult behavior? How so?
The managers interviewing candidates for this position were very professional, courteous, and were great at explaining the role and it’s requirements. The interview however was cut short by management because it was not a fit, while I blame the recruiters for dropping the ball and recruiting a potential client that was not a match, I still feel management could have had the courtesy to complete interview process with me as I had prepped and invested time in learning about the company and the role, plus shifting my schedule before the interview.
