The interview was virtual. The interviewer asked me general questions about my experience. Then, a business-related interview started even though the job posting didn't specify that the role was for teaching English to business professionals. They also asked how long it would take me to relocate to two of their branches that had openings. At the end, they said I wouldn't be considered because my relocation time is long and they thought I couldn't adjust, plus I didn't know much about business.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview was easy. They asked why I wanted to teach, about myself, and if I had a work permit. There were also grammar questions and a lesson plan demo. They mentioned there are no benefits, no medical, and no allowances. The salary is low and the hours are long, with no help for visa issues. They also said the rate is the same for group and individual classes.

Behavioral Other
The interview started with a recruiter call. They mentioned a mandatory 30-hour unpaid training, which even the recruiter admitted was bad policy. The salary offered was 14 euro per lesson, with no pay for homework checking or lesson prep. After more meetings where they asked about my experience and teaching methods, I received the training materials. This included pre-training learning with videos and exercises of unknown duration, covering teaching history and basic techniques, which they called a "unique methodology" but seemed like standard university material. I expressed my willingness to skip the training due to my existing experience and knowledge, suggesting an evaluation instead. Their response was to accuse me of lacking a positive attitude and willingness to learn. My advice is that if you seek genuine learning, find paid courses; this training won't offer much new for experienced professionals and might be a waste of time, especially given the extremely low salary.
