When I went, it was a personality interview. I wore black skinny jeans and a t-shirt and got the job. I sat down with a couple of guys who work at the YMCA office and they asked me questions like "If you could be any kind of fish, what would you be?" "If I put you in a room with 10 kids, some bean bags, and a bunch of blocks, what would you do?" "If you could only listen to three bands for the rest of your life, what would they be?" Just don't be shy. They want to see that you're a fun person who won't be uptight around the kids and parents. I had so much fun at my interview. Now, not everyone's interview is like mine, I have to warn you... my site director said that sometimes they'll do weird stuff just to mess with you. For example, he said once he put his hood up over his eyes and his sunglasses over his hood and just sat there and said nothing the whole interview. It's all very laid back and silly. Be yourself and have fun with it... that's how you've got to be when you work with kids!

I applied online on the YMCA site and was asked to come in for a group interview. Everyone was dressed casual and it was super simple. Everyone was super friendly and you basically talk about your experiences with children.
