The process was smooth and efficient, and only CV-based questions were asked. The interviewer was friendly and explained more about the recruitment process when I asked about the timeline. Overall, it was just about elaborating on your CV.

So first, you gotta send in your resume, cover letter, and fill out the online application for the intern role at the YMCA. Then, there's a quick phone chat to talk about your background and when you're free. If they like you, you'll have an in-person or virtual interview where they'll ask you stuff about your behavior and competencies, and see if you're a good fit for the YMCA's mission. Sometimes, you might have to do a practical task or a group activity to show how you work with others and solve problems. The last part is an interview with the bosses and they'll check your references. If you get the job, you'll get an offer and then go through onboarding to get to know the YMCA's rules and culture.
