Behavioral
The interview process was really thorough, focusing on my past sports background and counseling experience. A friend referred me. PAL is looking for young, driven individuals who are self-starters and want to make a difference in the community for inner-city kids. The main difficulty is finding former athletes who also have coaching experience.

Behavioral Presentation
I applied for a summer position and brought my resume to the Program Coordinator. After they reviewed it, I met briefly with the Center Director and got an interview date. For the interview, I dressed professionally again and brought another copy of my resume. The interview lasted about 20-30 minutes. They asked about me and my experience with kids, and if I knew how to make lesson plans. Then, I had to do a sample lesson for a group of 2nd graders, including an intro, main activity, and conclusion. The activity involved the kids drawing things they use in their community like transportation, libraries, schools, playgrounds, or police stations. I was hired right away and given paperwork.
