& Process

I applied online and filled out the paperwork. On Monday, I got an email saying they wanted to do a phone interview on Tuesday. I rescheduled it for Friday. The interviewer asked standard questions and seemed to like me. She said she wanted to set up a face-to-face interview but I had to do a pre-work assignment and turn it in by Monday morning. I had the weekend to do it. The assignment had two parts: make a flyer and write an email using the provided info. I did both and sent them in. After that, the interviewer went silent. No response to my two follow-up emails. I checked the job portal and found out the job was closed. They didn't keep their word about the face-to-face interview. I wouldn't waste my time with this company.

The interview process began with a phone call where they asked typical questions about teaching methods, how I handle the classroom, school culture, and fostering critical thinking skills. The in-person part was quite extensive, lasting three hours. It involved me giving a demo lesson, followed by a lengthy discussion where we worked together to break down and then rebuild my lesson. They used this exercise to gauge my adaptability and how well I could collaborate with a team to improve lesson plans.

Got an email 24 hours after applying for a phone interview the next day. The HR rep was 10 minutes late and asked basic questions. Then, they said the next steps were an at-home Excel exercise, followed by an in-person interview with the operations team if the exercise went well. The phone interview was about an hour, and the HR rep said they'd get back to me in a week. I emailed them a week later, and only got an automated rejection email an hour after that.

Someone reached out to me for a phone interview within a day of submitting my application. The phone interview was completely awkward with the girl on the other line not giving me any feedback or response other than questions. Because it was an accounting based position I was asked about Balance Sheets and Income Statements and was "tested" on my knowledge of Excel. It was a very uncomfortable interview that lasted much longer than it should have with plenty of silence.
