YMCA Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details I applied via YMCA website. The procedure is like any other interview where they scan through all the applicants and then, either call the selected candidate or email them. Once you get selected, I got called for on-site interview.

Interview Details One in-person interview with HR and hiring manager. Basic job questions. They asked to bring a portfolio of projects and writing samples.

Second interview to test writing skills- which did not end up happening in my case as their second candidate dropped out of the running. Very straightforward process.

Negotiation Details – Fixed salary.

Interview Details I applied online, and after one month I received a phone call from YMCA. There was only one interview with three interviewers. All the questions were really general. Like "why do you want to work for us".

Interview Details -Job was advertised in newspaper
-Submitted resume and cover letter to Hiring Committee
-Received call and was asked a few inital screening questions before being booked for an interview
-Participated in interview with Director, Programs Manager and a Quality Assurance Supervisor
-Upon successful completion of oral interview, there was a written component
-Had to write a cover letter for an apprentice mechanic based on a number of criteria
-Upon satisfactory completion of these two steps, the final step was to complete the Winslow Assessment

Negotiation Details – Was asked what my salary expectations were. My response was that I am sure YMCA would pay a fair market rate for the position. Initially, it was in the low range of the regional rate, but upon excellent performance, was given more than fair increases upon the signing of a second contract and when the full-time employee agreement was accepted.

Interview Details I have applied online directly at YMCA homepage. I got call back to be invited for an interview one week after I applied. Interview consisted of panel interview. One person was questioning me whether the other one was writing down my answers. They called me back in 10 days later to tell me that they will not make an offer for me

Interview Details First I filled out the application form on the website, then 1 months later I was given an interview withe the volunteer coordinator. It was an easy interview with questions like "Tell me about yourself", "Why do you want to work for us" and "What does helping others mean to you". Then I had to submit a police record check and meet with my supervisor.

Interview Details I was interviewed by 2 senior individuals in the organization. It was a friendly and supportive atmosphere as I knew them both fairly well. There were 3 interviews in total - the final one consisting of a presentation.

Reason for Declining – Pursued an MBA full-time instead.

Interview Details I first applied for the position through the YMCA website. I was then contacted a few days later for an interview. They asked me to fill out 2 pages of paper work and prepare an activity and a song to share at the interview. They also told me to it was a group interview.

The day of I wore a semi-nice blouse black pants and black flats, nothing too fancy. I arrived about 10 minutes before my interview and promptly at 6 our interviewer came in and led us to a room. There he divided us into groups. Our group did the songs and activities first. I felt a bit out of place... only because my song and activity was different from the others. Theirs were more campy? If you get me. It was mostly follow after me songs. After that we divided up again and went into our group interview. The interview itself was pretty hard for me. I prepared for it but they were questions where you really had to think about it. They were mostly situational questions. At the end of the questions they asked us to write a detailed description of an activity we'd make that went along with the camp themes.

Overall I had a wonderful experience at this YMCA. I tried to be outgoing, talking and enthusiastic which I felt was all that they were looking for. Also I asked the interviewers a few questions just so I could look like I was very interested in the position, which I was. I asked "Do you see this position growing with the company".

Interview Details The people who worked at the YMCA that I worked at were very friendly and helpful for anything that I needed. The interview went very smoothly, and the supervisor asked causal questions to understand who I was, and what I could do to help out, and to make sure I was a good fit for the company.
