I had my interview on June the 30th. This was pushed back a few times due to life getting in the way which was extremely frustrating, but it gave me more time to prepare for my interview. Which I was very grateful for. It was super relaxed, I was very very nervous before hand purely because I had no idea what to expect. Everyone I had contacted through AmeriCamp were very supportive. Shout out to Louis !!
So it was a interview over Skype it literally felt like a chat with a girlfriend it was that chilled. She asked me things about my skills Cooking, Drama and Jewellery making and my experiences teaching this to children. She also wanted to know more about my experiences looking after children. The hardest question I was asked was ‘Why should a camp hire you?’ I was honestly cringing so hard. I really do not like them sorts of questions. Around a week later I received a email from Tara congratulating me on reaching stage two. This is where i had to pay my stage two fees, get two references and create my application video.
My advice to anyone having a AmeriCamp Skype interview is be yourself, smile and have some questions prepared. The majority of the people working for AmeriCamp have been to camp before so they love telling you about there experiences which made me so so excited for my turn.
If you’re ever worried reach out to the AmeriCamp team. They are honestly the best group of people.
Look out for my next post
