Behavioral Presentation
The interview process involved three interviews. First, you had to submit documents like your resume, teaching philosophy, statement of diversity, transcripts, and application. Second, there was a formal interview that included a Q&A session and a teaching demonstration on a given subject. Finally, a few selected candidates were interviewed by the president.

Technical Behavioral
My professor from my first English course at De Anza College suggested I apply to be a Peer English Tutor. The interview process with the tutoring center staff was thorough and helpful. They also have a required tutoring course during the first quarter which prepared me for the job. Senior Tutors who were great at their sessions mentored us new tutors. Both the hiring and interviewing process were quick and swift, and the employees were hired based on performance rather than initial resume judgment.

My professor recommended me for the Student Instructor position, and after getting the application, I turned it into the department office. I had an interview scheduled. The application had a list of questions that I filled out beforehand to use as a reference during the interview. The interview itself was just one round with the head of the department, and it was mostly behavioral questions. They didn't formally offer me the job, but the interviewer just started talking about me having the job.
