I applied online. I interviewed at Life Time (New York, NY) in Jan 2018
Interview
Brief phone conversation, in-person interview with hiring staff representative, and follow-up 2nd interview with aquatics manager to go over and discuss my resume & previous work experience. Was asked a series of questions, most involving a hypothetical scenario/conflict and requiring specific examples of how I would handle - or have handled in the past - the situation if it were to happen on the job. Was hired immediately after the questioning process, and my qualification certs were scanned and verified.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Describe a time you overcame an obstacle"
"You see a coworker do something wrong. What do you do?"
"If you were a ride at an amusement park, what would you be?
Super simple and onboarding was easy. They asked a lot of good, theoretical questions. They had the head manager as well as a supervisor in the interview which made it less intimidating and I was able to get a better feel for the company.
Easy-going, asked about swim experiences as well as my previous job experience as a swim assistant. Talked to me about the rest of the hiring process as well as the responsibilities I would be required to take on.
