The interview process was pretty easy! There's a lot of training before you're fully teaching, but it's all paid. The people are very nice. If you have swim experience, they're very pleased, and if you don't, they're willing to teach you everything you need to know.

Behavioral Presentation
I had a really good chat with the recruiter at Foss, she was super into the company's mission and values. She seemed really positive and easy to talk to. But then, the interview with the CHRO was the complete opposite. She was late to our video call, seemed totally checked out, and was distracted the whole time. It was a poor impression for someone representing the HR side of a growing company.

Behavioral Technical
The first interview was conducted online via Microsoft Teams. They asked about my experience working with children and what I liked about it. They also inquired about my previous job and the reasons for leaving. They could improve by scheduling more than 30 minutes for an interview, perhaps a full 60 minutes, instead of having multiple separate interviews to save time and resources. It felt rushed, and the interviewer was a bit late. I asked good questions and was engaged. The only drawback was that I wasn't local.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online using their website and had a referral. They wanted an online interview within 24 hours. After that, I had an in-person interview within a couple of hours. They suggested I had the job if I wanted it, but they wanted to observe my interaction with children. I withdrew my application shortly after the online interview because I couldn't commit to their 9-month requirement, being a college student.
