There was a training process to become certified to become a lifeguard, after that we were told that there was going to be an interview but we were all hired right after the training was over if we wanted to work there.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bartlett Park District (Bartlett, IL) in Apr 2012
Interview
One interview with the Aquatics Manager and the Assistance Manager. Basic interview questions you would expect. I submitted an application in person- I went to the Park District and filled out a paper app. After that, I waited for a call and then scheduled an interview within a week and a half. After that I was called and offered the position a few days later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You pass an old lady, your best friend, and a stranger on a corner. They are standing in the pouring rain. Who do you pick up? You can only pick up one.
