I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Chicago, IL) in May 2014
Interview
It was easy. Very open to questions. Nice supervisor . Very professional. Nice environment . It was a lot of easy questions asked . Not hard at all. I don't have anything else to say I'm just trying to reach the requirements for this box.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how long have you been working with kids? A memory from a camp you was in? A favorite person. Someone you look up to...
Very casual, my interviewer kept things focused on my ability to work with children, public speaking, and working on a team. If you have any experience with working with kids, be sure to have some stories of how you have dealt with incidents relating to behavior.
Group interview with other canidates and panelists. Mostly get to know you style and situtational tasks. You will be interviewing alongside other canidadtes so make sure you stand out and seem unique. Howeer don;t overdo it and remain humble and willing to learn.
Fairly relaxed, standard questions related to your interest and experience with early childhood education. They didn't really go over my resume- many workers were in high school, so their expectations likely weren't high.
