Behavioral Presentation

It was a 3 person panel interview. They asked essay style questions that I had to answer verbally. They told me I should hear something back by the end of the week, but I didn't hear anything for over a week. I saw the job reposted first.

The process was pretty straightforward. You apply online, then you sign up for the lifeguard classes they offer. You have to pay a $125 fee for the class, and in return, you get your CPR, First Aid, and lifeguard qualifications. After that, it really just depends on whether they have an opening for another lifeguard. Typically, there's enough turnover that there's usually a spot. Getting hired was easy, though the classes took about a week, with some sessions being all day, but not every day.

The interview questions felt pretty standard. However, the interviewers seemed uninterested and like it was an inconvenience for them to be there. When I had the chance to ask them questions, their responses weren't genuine. They gave basic and vague answers.

The interview process involved a critical thinking assessment, a phone screen, and an in-person interview. The recruiter's communication was sparse, resulting in long periods without any updates.
