I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Waco, TX) in Aug 2012
Interview
Simple application, was given a call back within the week. Met with the supervisor of the department as he lead the interview. Given a tour of the facility. Meet some of the staff and get a feel for the environment. Have work orientation before your first day of actual work and show the ropes of the what you'll be doing and how to go about things appropriately.
Smooth and welcoming. The interaction was positive and conversation flowed nicely throughout. I felt like my answers were being listened to, and that the interviewers were very engaged with me and what I had to say.

What my background was and how it would fit into this role
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.
