I applied online. I interviewed at First Ascent Climbing & Fitness (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview was simple and straightforward! The managers were great and asked good questions. Overall, this was a pleasant interview. I would have no problem recommending a part time job here to a friend.
