It was a really professional interview. They knew what they wanted and what was expected of me for the tutoring role. I was interviewing to tutor first-year electrical engineering students in Mathematics. The lecturer who recommended I apply was present during the interview.

Behavioral Technical

The interview was a Zoom meeting. Some interviewers were intimidating and unfriendly, trying to see if I could handle pressure and their authoritative nature. They wanted to know if I could handle work pressure. After 18 years as a lecturer, I found their approach inappropriate. They wouldn't answer my questions, claiming they didn't have time. I believe assessing my attitude and teamwork potential would be more valuable. I decided against working with people who intimidate instead of inspire. Their lack of time for my questions suggested a negative work environment.

The tickets to attend the interview were organised and paid for. Disappointingly, it took months to get a response back from them, which caused me unnecessary stress and panic.
