I applied online. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (New Haven, CT) in Feb 2018
Interview
The interview process took about 30 minutes. It was a group interview. The interviewer asked appropriate questions, and we were told that we would be hearing back shortly. The interviewer asked us about previous experience and what we would do if specific situations or emergencies were to arise at camp.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What experience do you have working with children?
Very casual, my interviewer kept things focused on my ability to work with children, public speaking, and working on a team. If you have any experience with working with kids, be sure to have some stories of how you have dealt with incidents relating to behavior.
Group interview with other canidates and panelists. Mostly get to know you style and situtational tasks. You will be interviewing alongside other canidadtes so make sure you stand out and seem unique. Howeer don;t overdo it and remain humble and willing to learn.
