First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Missionary Training Center.
Spanish Teacher
I had an online interview first, and then they emailed me about a month and a half later for a Spanish evaluation. I did that over zoom. Within a week after that, they texted me and invited me for an in-person interview. There were 5 other people in the interview with me. They mentioned they'd respond within a week, but they didn't. I had to call them back, and they still didn't get back to me. About two weeks after that, they finally responded.
- In what ways would you instruct English speakers in Spanish while refraining from using English?
Teacher
It was pretty simple and direct, with basic questions and a role-play at the end. Wasn't too stressful. Good idea to be ready with a range of scriptures. It starts with introductions, then goes into the logistics, then you discuss your mission and your reasons for wanting to teach at the MTC. It finishes with a role-play and then an evaluation.
- Where are you currently studying?
- Can you share where you currently study?
- What is your current place of study?
Office Administrator
They did some communication checks, asked about my best skills, and wanted to hear stories of resolving inter-office conflicts. Also asked about my ability to use excel, scheduling, and planning. Had to demonstrate skills to organize projects. They also asked what I would do in an emergency call from someone about XYZ happening.
- Can you share an instance where you had to resolve inter-office conflicts?
- Show us how you would schedule different timelines for missionary arrivals?
- How would you go about presenting a new solution for the XYZ problem?
Language Teacher
The first interview was like a 10 minute teaching demo. You've got 10 minutes to teach a lesson to 2 people who are rating you. Make sure you tailor your teaching specifically to them, not just a general lesson. Ask questions that are inspired and give each of them specific invitations to commit. Share your testimony often and promise blessings. The second interview was with 2 training coordinators. They'll ask you a bunch of questions, and then you'll do a role play. In my interview, I was the teacher and the two training coordinators were the missionary companionship. They were having a hard time with effective companionship study. You need to ask inspired questions and guide them so they can figure out for themselves what God wants them to do.
- What motivates you to seek this position?
- In what ways has your two-year mission experience influenced your personal growth?
