The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed May 2010 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 2 days)

To work security for the Church, you need to be a "card-carrying" member to even be considered. A friend worked there and gave me the number of someone in HR. I called him, and although they weren't hiring at the time, I put my resume on file. I called two weeks later, to check the status of the soft hiring freeze. One month after that, I got a call and had a phone interview that lasted 30 minutes or so. We set up a time to have a preliminary interview.

In that 1:1 interview, I was asked why I'd want to work for the Church, why I wanted to work security, etc. A good portion of the interview was then set aside to run me through a scenario where I'd be working security and had to make decisions - call for back up? - and the specifics they asked me to not share. This interview was fairly heavy.

After passing this, there was physical test (running, carrying a body, etc). I was given a soft offer with details of my salary, benefits, etc.

Actually hiring me would depend on the last few steps in the process: another more extensive background check, a psych eval, and a panel interview.
