The interview was long and detailed, asking for specific examples from your career.

Behavioral Technical
I had a phone interview with two senior teachers. It was very scripted and felt robotic, with no personal questions or emotional connection. They read questions from a list and didn't ask any follow-ups, lacking a personal touch.
