I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) in May 2012
Interview
Very pleasant, just know the core values of the organization and have necessary certifications. As long as you fill the qualifications and can demonstrate the skills you are fine. They always need more guards during the summer. Outside of that, it might be a little harder since some of the aquatics facilities shut down but overall great part-time work.
Smooth and welcoming. The interaction was positive and conversation flowed nicely throughout. I felt like my answers were being listened to, and that the interviewers were very engaged with me and what I had to say.

Question 1
What my background was and how it would fit into this role
very good. good people there who work there and i like to work there because it is very fun being outside and talking with good people and free popsicles and the interviewer was nice and respectful and all oof that.
The interview process was overall easy. You just need to have your certifications, you need to pass a breathing test, and you need to pass a swim test. Pretty easy interview.
