I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Toronto, ON) in June 2010
Interview
First I filled out the application form on the website, then 1 months later I was given an interview withe the volunteer coordinator. It was an easy interview with questions like "Tell me about yourself", "Why do you want to work for us" and "What does helping others mean to you". Then I had to submit a police record check and meet with my supervisor.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever had conflict with others during the past, how did you deal with it?
It was a super quick interview asking basic questions. Wanted to know reason for why you want to volunteer. Also asked about strengths and weakness. Also asked about past experiences.
It was a very calm interview experience. It mostly consisted of making sure that I understood the expectations and asking me very basic behavioral questions. Overall, it was one of the more chill interviews that I have been in.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Sekondi)
