It was a really quick interview, only about 15 minutes. They asked things like why I wanted to join, what I could bring to the role, and what makes me a good teacher. I also had to be ready to talk about how I'd manage a student with behavioral issues in the classroom.

First, there was a writing task that I had to finish before the actual interview. Then, I had to do a teaching observation where MOE Teachers, Senior Teachers, or the Principal watched me teach using a whiteboard and markers. Finally, there was a Q&A session with a panel of interviewers, which lasted about 10-15 minutes.

Technical Behavioral

It was a formal interview, asking general questions about networking (LAN, WAN, WLAN), software development (LARAVEL, PHP, JS), also about work code of conduct, and different situations. We discussed deployment strategies on cloud platforms and integration with various APIs. Regarding work code of conduct, the interview could assess understanding of ethical practices, effective communication, and conflict resolution. Situational questions might involve handling project deadlines, collaborating with team members, and responding to client feedback, testing the candidate's ability to maintain a productive and respectful workplace. Overall, the interview aims to gauge the candidate's technical expertise.

Behavioral Presentation

It was tough, made out of a panel and senior teachers and counsellors. Some questions made me feel like I have to butter up about how much I love working for MOE, in order to get the job. Didnt get an offer. Long waiting time about 2-3 months for them to get back to you about interview and results

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • In your experience, how have you managed student interactions?
  • What are your strategies for managing stress?
