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.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA)
Interview
it took two weeks. After applying, I heard back in a few days and they held a phone interview. Since it was almost time for camp to start, they just told me that they would email me the questions and I would have to respond the next day. Then there was a 2 and half hour long in person interview about experience and case studies. After that, they gave me an offer after three references wrote back to them.
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.
Fairly relaxed, standard questions related to your interest and experience with early childhood education. They didn't really go over my resume- many workers were in high school, so their expectations likely weren't high.
