I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Atlanta, GA) in Apr 2013
Interview
Filled out form in person, got a call a few weeks later, went in for interview, got an offer, did the drug testing.Talked about what you do at the job, how to talk to the people. It was more I was being told what to do on the job than being asked questions. Not very clear what the job was until I actually started.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How I would deal with unruly children and unruly members. What to do in certain emergencies, hard to answer when you do not know anything about the facilities or the membership. Basically I answered as if I were saving my own family from a disaster, a child predator, and talking down an unruly disgruntled adult.
The interview itself isn't all too bad. However, with only one employee in HR (Oregon Location), the rest of the process took over a month. After accepting their offer letter and asking about my first day, I was ghosted for about a week.
Panel interview, never heard from them again. Phone screening and interview with 3 people, went well and good conversation. Did not hear back at all, not even rejection. I have to write 30 words
I applied online. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Lincoln, NE) in June 2024
Interview
Easy and straightforward. Basic interview questions about why you want to work at the Y, a time you’ve had good customer service, what you expect the job to entail, etc.
