      Camp Counselor Interview

      May 5, 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) in Apr 2008

      Interview

      You first have to turn in the application and then you wait until you receive a phone call or email from the director who then schedules an interview. The group interview engages you unlike normal interviews to see if your personality fits their needs. There is a short period of time and then you either receive an email with job acceptance or declination.
