I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Mission Viejo, CA) in June 2010
Interview
I was hired by an awesome director, who was promptly fired after hiring me! The Y is notorious for firing their management staff I later learned from the teachers assistants and directors who had been there a long time. The interview was comfortable and I felt excited to work with this person. She was literally fired the first week I started work.
