I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Group Interview it was nice and the questions were simple. They just wanted to know if you were good with children and if u were good talking to other people. They gave all of us the job right away. There was training and it was basic knowledge nothing that you wouldnt know. The people were nice and it was fun working there.
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.
