I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Youth Villages
Interview
I applied online and immediately got an email requesting a phone interview. Interview was conducted within a couple of days. I was then told someone would be contacting me in a few days to set up an in-person interview. I didn't hear from anyone for about 2 weeks. To give them credit, the person who finally called apologized profusely and explained the reason for the delay. I had my in-person interview a few days later and was told I did a great job and that they would be in touch within a few days. I never heard from them again. Luckily, I received another job offer just after that so I took it but I felt this interview/hiring process was very poorly handled. At least give someone an answer either way.
