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.

Presentation Behavioral
It's a long and involved process. A lot of prep is needed because you'll need to treat the panelists like students. It'd be smart to go over all the materials and then present. But, you can't really predict how the panelists will respond. You can set things up, but not everyone might go along with it.

- What made you decide to pursue this career path?
