The first interview was easy. The second one was a day long process. The people were very friendly. Not the fastest department. Think I applied in February and it was wrapped up in May.

A very straight forward process that consisted of two rounds of panel interviews. The down side is that the interview process took a long time–about two months before an offer was made.

Pretty simple. You just sit down with the director and the interview is less than half an hour. They want to hire you, just make sure you know how to swim. Any previous experience is good but not required.
