Sat down with three staff members from the leadership team. Interview was pleasant, however they surprised me with additional responsibilities that were not listed on their job description. No call back or update either after the interview. Overall I was disappointed with the process and felt that it did not do justice to the overall mission of the YMCA.

I had a phone interview with 1 person in August of 2016. The next step would have been an in person interview had I made it past the phone screening. Phone interview took about 20 minutes. Interviewer started off telling me a little about the position and then proceeded with her questions.

Interview
I applied by e-mail to HR per website instructions. I received an email response indicating the submission date deadline. It took 5 weeks after submission deadline before I got the call for the HR screen. The request for in-person came a few days after the HR call. The HR phone interview was professional. STAR questions. The in-person interview was with 2 members of the location's executive team. Started the interview with "are you ready for the change". Coming from the for-profit world was clearly viewed as a negative. Not sure why I was called in if they had no intention of hiring from outside not-for-profit.

Question 1
Questions were only asked from a negative perspective. What would a former subbordinate say is the hardest part of working for you? No offsetting best part question. Same question was asked about your prior superior. Again, without the correspoding best part question
