I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Chicago, IL) in May 2009
Interview
Turned in application. Interviewed 2 weeks later. Filled out paperwork another week later. Started working. For the first few weeks of work they were still doing a background check. You don't get your first paycheck for nearly a month.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if one of your friends was on the pool deck drunk?
very good. good people there who work there and i like to work there because it is very fun being outside and talking with good people and free popsicles and the interviewer was nice and respectful and all oof that.
The interview process was overall easy. You just need to have your certifications, you need to pass a breathing test, and you need to pass a swim test. Pretty easy interview.
Swim test and basic questions. Very chill and conversational. Gave me introduction to their different systems and showed me how to change my hours and look for cover. I recommend wilting here!
