I applied online. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Dallas, TX) in May 2009
Interview
I turned in my application, and then was called in for a group interview with a 5 person panel. It was a little intimidating at first because of the nature of a group interview, but it went very well. I think the interviewers were just trying to get a feel for your teamwork dynamic. In fact, some of the questions felt more like ice breakers than traditional interview questions. Be yourself, convey your passion for the job and don't be afraid to be quirky.

Question 1
"What's a fun game that can be played with your campers while in line or during a waiting period?"
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.

Question 1
Name one time you settled a conflict and how you did that.
The interview process was very easy, the interviewer didn’t ask me any questions, she simply explained what the job duties were and made sure my schedule aligned with the camp schedule,
