      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Montecito, CA) in Jun 2013

      Interview

      Hiring process was not very extensive. The questions were very straightforward, asking only about prior experience and responses to various situations with students. There were 4 people asking questions to one interviewee, but everyone was very laid back and made it a comfortable experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The only moderately unexpected question was "tell me what the motto of the YMCA means to you"
