I first connected with this job opportunity via a recruiter. Then, I had an interview that lasted about 10-12 minutes with three women. They were warm but very brisk in their asking style, and they took turns asking questions. The questions were mostly about soft skills. I didn't get a chance to ask any questions at the end.

It was a long and drawn-out interview process. I first had to complete a lengthy job application on edjoin and then another one through their HR company, with each taking about an hour. After that, I took an assessment that felt similar to the GRE, which also lasted an hour. Then, I had a phone interview and was told I'd hear back within a week, but it's been a month and I still haven't heard anything.
Confirmed questions1 question
- The most challenging aspect was having two interviewers on the phone simultaneously, making it difficult to identify who was asking each question.

I applied three months ago and was contacted shortly after. The interview process consisted of two phone calls: one with an external HR contractor and another with a CAVA administrator. I received a job offer the day after my last interview. Notably, I was not permitted to give two weeks' notice to my current employer.

The interview process involved a Hireview recorded video where I had to answer questions about my philosophy and different scenarios. Then, there was an online, live interview where I had to teach a lesson to two leads. The lesson needed to include stating the standard in student-friendly 'I can' language, modeling the skill, having students practice, and finally, an exit ticket or assessment.
