The interview process was straightforward and enjoyable. The interviewers were very prepared and I was given transparent information. I had an initial informal interview then a more formal interview with the hiring manager. I came in for one final interview then was offered a position.

Had a thorough panel interview. They had me do a translation to check my bilingual skills. Then, I did a working interview where I visited a school to demonstrate my abilities. The whole process was good and I also got to submit my experiences from the school visit.

I applied and got a request for a phone screening. I completed the phone screening and was offered a first round interview at the end of the call. The interviewer described the next steps to me, including 2 more interview rounds, reference checks, and a background check over the following 2-3 weeks. They said they would be in touch to schedule the next round of interviews. I followed up that night with a thank-you email, saying I was looking forward to scheduling my next round. I didn't hear anything back, and ended up sending 2 more follow-up emails over the next two weeks, offering my availability and hoping to get some kind of response. I even asked them to please let me know if they were no longer considering my candidacy, and they never responded to any of my emails. It has now been 3.5 weeks.
