First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Girls Who Code.
Instructor
I had one interview over Google Hangout with a former instructor that lasted about an hour. They asked me about classroom scenarios, then had me teach and walk through a coding project I was given beforehand, and finally, I had to find logical and syntax errors in a code snippet.
- What is the mission of Girls Who Code?
Instructor
The interview was mostly behavioral, and had 2 technical questions at the end. The technical questions aren't that hard, if you have taken an introductory programming course, then you should be fine. I really wanted to accept the offer, however, they required me to be in Atlanta, GA for training, while I applied for a position in Los Angeles, CA. I didn't have the funds to travel across the country for training for this job, so I had to decline this job position.
- How would you calculate the sum of all integers within a given array?
Teacher
The interview process was pretty straightforward but they asked good questions. They wanted to check my coding skills, and also see if I'm a people person who can handle a class of 20 high schoolers with two TAs helping out. The interviewers were really friendly.
- How would you handle a situation where students in your class are not getting along?
- Can you demonstrate your coding abilities?
- Describe your suitability for managing a class of 20 high school students, supported by two teaching assistants.
