I applied for a summer teaching position. I was contacted and scheduled for an interview. When I arrived, I found out the interview had been cancelled without any prior notification. They never got back to me to reschedule or explain why. It was really unprofessional and rude of them.
Confirmed questions1 question
- No questions were asked because they cancelled without informing me. I showed up and discovered it had been cancelled. They didn't apologize, explain the cancellation, or reschedule. Incredibly unprofessional.

Behavioral Behavioral
I applied for a paraprofessional job on Tuesday. The online application took me a few weeks to complete, and I made it longer by applying for other jobs too. This is a temporary role assisting students with Autism/LD and sometimes being a bus aide. By Thursday, the principal of an elementary school contacted me for an interview on Friday. We had some trouble connecting by phone because I work at a school and can't always answer. We scheduled the interview for Monday morning. The interview started right on time and was quick and to the point. I was surprised there were three interviewers with a list of questions, as I expected only one, but it wasn't too scary. The questions were more about behavior than standard ones, which I like better. They didn't ask about my degree (a BA in political science) which was a relief because the 'why aren't you in your field' question can be awkward. I haven't gotten an offer yet; I should hear back by the end of next week.
