When I was applying to jobs at BookNook, I had to do this automated video interview where I could re-record my answers. I had to do a new one for every single job I applied for there.

Behavioral
The lessons are easy to follow, but finding students can be challenging. It's a bit unpredictable, often leading to fewer opportunities than desired. While most students are wonderful, some could use more supervision.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
Initially, I was sent a link for a one-way video interview via SparkHire. It had the standard 7 questions many others mentioned. If you're a perfectionist, this part could take a while. A few days later, I got feedback that my interview was 'strong' and I was in the 'final part of the interview.' This involved another set of 2 questions. I found this unusual as I hadn't seen reviews mentioning a second interview for tutors. After submitting the final video, I received a generic rejection from 'the hiring team,' stating I wasn't a good fit, despite having 9 years of teaching experience for a role requiring at least 3. It seems unlikely my application was the issue. It's probably for the best, as recent reviews suggest BookNook is oversaturated with tutors and lacks sufficient job opportunities.

- Can you explain how you would inform students they answered incorrectly and need to find the correct answer, including the reasoning behind your method?
