I applied to the YMCA online. A few days later, I got an e-mail about an interview. They told me to prepare an icebreaker or game that I would do in a class setting. The interview was a group interview, with multiple interviewers. It was a positive experience.

I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Berwyn, PA) in Jan 2016
Interview
I applied via indeed.com and the lady got back to me pronto on coming in for an interview. When I got there I asked for her at the desk and we sat down in the little cafe area for my interview. She had another Director sit on the interview with her and they pretty much asked me about my experience and education. Most of the conversation was the interviewers talking about themselves and I got hired on the spot and went on a mini-tour and then she revealed compensation.
