I interviewed with the Dept Head (Executive Director) and the Communications Lead/Public Info Official together. They were pretty friendly and asked stuff that gave a good sense of what they expect from the role, but I didn't get a clear picture of the day-to-day responsibilities.

Presentation Behavioral

It was a really weird and old-fashioned interview process with a lot of red tape. First, the job posting wasn't open for applications right away, you had to wait for a specific date when it went live for a short window, like 48 hours. They also required college transcripts with the application, which is unusual. Before even talking to anyone about the job, the second step involved completing a project and submitting it. The third stage was a brief 15-minute panel interview where each person read questions from a list on their screen. They didn't discuss the role at all or allow any questions from me, which is a missed opportunity to see if the company is a good fit for the candidate.

Technical Behavioral

I did an online submission with some extra questions mid-December 2016. They let me know via email about a month later that I was their top pick. Then I had an interview scheduled for mid-February 2017. They ended up asking the very same questions from the online application. The panel seemed really uninterested and serious. It was tough to be myself since I was so energetic and motivated. I reached out to HR three weeks later but got no reply. After a month, they emailed back saying my skills were good, but they were going to advertise the position again and if I wanted to be considered, I had to reapply. Just as I was about to reapply, three days later, the job posting disappeared in early April 2017.

Behavioral Presentation

Applied via their portal and heard back a few weeks later for an interview. I was asked to get ready for a 10 min teaching demo. When I got there, which was in a classroom, I met a panel of three people right away. They gave us the interview questions, but we didn't get to see them before. We had 45 minutes to answer 8 questions, each with 2-3 parts. After that, I did my teaching demo. Then I was shown out. Got an offer the next day!
