First, there was a quick phone chat. Then, I went in for an in-person interview at the school. After that, the director took me on a school tour, and then I had a virtual chat with the admin staff. Both interviews were pretty short.

They ask a few questions about yourself, your career goals, and how Kensington would be a good fit for you. For my interview, they showed up 30 minutes late to our scheduled appointment and did not even specify the issues for being late. They offered a phone interview and it seemed like they did not even look at my resume or even check my background answers that I responded with my resume.

Behavioral Presentation
It was a pretty typical process. First, a phone interview, then a Zoom interview. After that, I got an acceptance letter, and then a meeting at the school. Then paperwork, followed by training, and an observation. The Zoom interview was with HR and the school director. They were really happy people and their smiles made me smile! The interview was recorded and shared with their team. A few days later, I got an offer letter in an email. The whole thing moved fast.
