Behavioral Technical
The interview was for a position at San Pasqual Academy. It began with a lengthy form that took about 20 minutes to complete, followed by a 40-minute one-on-one meeting with my potential supervisor. I was told about the form upon arrival and that it needed to be filled out before the meeting, which felt redundant since it asked for information already on my resume. This made me feel rushed during the actual meeting. They should let people know beforehand to arrive 30 minutes early to complete the form or at least acknowledge it's part of the interview. I sent a thank you email but never heard back about the outcome.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Could you describe your theoretical orientation?
- How would you handle a conflict with a coworker or manager?
