Bucknell University interview questions

The interview process was straightforward and fairly informal. After submitting my application, I was contacted by the aquatics director for a short in-person interview. They asked about my previous lifeguarding experience, CPR/first aid certifications, and availability. The questions were mostly scenario-based (e.g., how you would handle a distressed swimmer or enforce pool rules). It was more of a conversation than a formal interview, and they seemed focused on making sure you were reliable, certified, and comfortable enforcing safety procedures. Once my certifications were verified, I was offered the job shortly after.

Intense. Bucknell has four-hour-long interviews where candidates will meet with a variety of people and teams. You get a good sense of the priorities of the role and the key stakeholders you will be working with.
