Behavioral
It was a really simple interview, mostly just going over my resume. They asked about how I would teach a topic, and also how I would interact with children. A lot of the conversation was about my teaching methods. They also wanted to know about SCOPE and SEQUENCE and how I'd incorporate it into my lesson plans.

Behavioral Group Presentation
Got an email from the Development Manager, then she gave me a call and we had a friendly chat. After that, we set up two more interviews: one was a one-on-one, and the other was a group interview with her assistant, followed by a quick meet-and-greet with the President of Development. I got the job offer a week later.

We kicked things off with a phone chat with HR. Then, they set up an in-person meeting with the head of Individual Giving. Overall, it was a decent experience. Despite the usual interview jitters, the conversation felt a bit awkward and direct.

I had a phone chat first with the head of HR to get a feel for the job. Then, I went in for an in-person interview that had some behavioral questions and a quick tour of the museum. I liked the process, but I didn't get an offer.
