YMCA Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Why I want to work for YMCA and Young people

Negotiation Details – be themselves

Interview Details I first applied for the position through the YMCA website. I was then contacted a few days later for an interview. They asked me to fill out 2 pages of paper work and prepare an activity and a song to share at the interview. They also told me to it was a group interview.

The day of I wore a semi-nice blouse black pants and black flats, nothing too fancy. I arrived about 10 minutes before my interview and promptly at 6 our interviewer came in and led us to a room. There he divided us into groups. Our group did the songs and activities first. I felt a bit out of place... only because my song and activity was different from the others. Theirs were more campy? If you get me. It was mostly follow after me songs. After that we divided up again and went into our group interview. The interview itself was pretty hard for me. I prepared for it but they were questions where you really had to think about it. They were mostly situational questions. At the end of the questions they asked us to write a detailed description of an activity we'd make that went along with the camp themes.

Overall I had a wonderful experience at this YMCA. I tried to be outgoing, talking and enthusiastic which I felt was all that they were looking for. Also I asked the interviewers a few questions just so I could look like I was very interested in the position, which I was. I asked "Do you see this position growing with the company".

Interview Details It was a very quick and easy process. Minot has a big need for workers so I dropped off my app and heard back rather quickly. There was no need for a second interview and I was easily put into the schedule.

Negotiation Details – Unable

Interview Details I turned in my application, and then was called in for a group interview with a 5 person panel. It was a little intimidating at first because of the nature of a group interview, but it went very well. I think the interviewers were just trying to get a feel for your teamwork dynamic. In fact, some of the questions felt more like ice breakers than traditional interview questions. Be yourself, convey your passion for the job and don't be afraid to be quirky.

Interview Details The people who worked at the YMCA that I worked at were very friendly and helpful for anything that I needed. The interview went very smoothly, and the supervisor asked causal questions to understand who I was, and what I could do to help out, and to make sure I was a good fit for the company.

Interview Details Received a call to come in for a first interview. Then, I received a call a day later to speak with the location president. Both interviews were pretty easy. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation. They'd told me the pay at first interview and that was fixed.

Interview Details I was hired after being a long-time member of the facility. Ideally, to put in a detailed application at the facility accompanied by a polished CV always makes a difference. The organization is grounded in its mission to provide a fun, family environment. Staff members should comport themselves in a professional, cordial manner. The interview process deals extensively with discussing prior experience, personality skills, and then a series of hypothetical situations which encompass both situations that occur frequently and worst case scenarios. They look to gauge how you problem solve.

Interview Details The interview was pretty laidback. She asked me to tell her about myself and my previous job. It was a great interview overall. Just be prepared when you are talking about yourself.

Interview Details Most hires are from referrals. No resume needed. Fill out the application provided. Only one interview with the director of the department you are applying for is necessary. Laid back environment. Can wear casual attire.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation phase.
