Team Leader
After submitting my written application, I had to get ready a quick personal statement (about 30 seconds) and a short demo lesson (around 3 minutes). Then, we had a group interview with about 30 other people. Everyone introduced themselves, and then we were broken into smaller groups. In these small groups, each person did their short lesson while the rest of us acted like campers. The Galileo staff really tried to make it fun and not too stressful, even offering costume bits and emphasizing that we weren't in direct competition.
- In the written interview, I was asked to describe an appropriate activity for campers who are tired and agitated at the end of the day.
Team Leader
So first thing was the online application. It had some general stuff and a couple of role play questions. The next day, I got an email saying they wanted to move me forward. Then you could either send in a video about working passionately towards a goal or do a phone interview. I sent in my video and then got a call from an interview specialist to set up an in-person interview. They told me what to expect, like preparing a 30-second intro and a two-minute lesson plan. They were really detailed about everything and even mentioned stuff from my video, which was a nice touch. The specialist said it would be a group interview, but they also scheduled one-on-one times before or after. The actual interview was super relaxed, everyone was so nice. Someone met me at the door and made sure I found the place okay. They all seemed really positive. They made it clear we weren't competing, even though it was a group thing, and that we were applying for different spots. We all introduced ourselves, watched a video about camp, and then split into groups for the schedule and our lesson plan. The groups did a game at the end so they could see us work together. Being positive and energetic is key, seriously. I think my enthusiasm got me the job even if I could have answered some individual questions better. They can teach you the rest. Definitely check out their website and learn their values.
- If two campers were fighting over a piece of equipment and there were no other pieces available, how would you resolve the argument?
Team Leader
So the interview process started with just submitting an online application and my resume, which was pretty quick. After that, I got an email to set up a group interview. When I got to the group interview, I was a little early, so they let me do my one-on-one chat first. It was a really nice, casual conversation. I just talked about my experience with kids and how I'd handle different scenarios. Then came the actual group interview part. We all introduced ourselves, then watched a short video, and a few people shared their thoughts on it. After that, we split into smaller groups for our teaching demos.
- How would you handle a situation where three children each believe they have the best idea for a team name, and you need to decide whose idea gets chosen?
