I first received a call in regards to my application and resume from the Executive Director. I then went into a one on one interview with her. I was out of state so the one on one was completed via phone. After I successfully completed this, I was asked to attend a panel interview. In the interview was the Executive Director, the membership and marketing director, the Chief Operating Office for the entire association and then another wellness director from an area branch. The panel interview was about 45 minutes in length and very challenging. After the interview, I was pretty much hired. I had to undergo a practical evaluation, where I taught group exercise and personal trained an existing member. I then had to submit a drug and background test.

I was interviewed by four people and the questions were relevant to the job itself. Be ready to answer questions about your competencies, particularly relating to how you communicate with people in various ways, what you know about the Y and its mission, and most importantly, how you plan to advance the Y's mission through your position.
