Behavioral Presentation
This was a very thoughtful and thorough process. We had several interviews with different groups, and I got to speak with other directors. There were also opportunities to observe classrooms and the school if it was nearby. All directors participate in yearly professional development and a conference.

I was contacted by a recruiter via Indeed and we scheduled an interview. They told me I'd be a great fit for either the Director or Assistant Director role and that I'd be moving on to the next interview rounds, explaining the steps. After a week with no update, I messaged the recruiter and got an auto-reject email.
