Behavioral Case Presentation
First up is a phone screen with the HR Hiring Manager. If that goes well, you'll then be set up to chat with a hiring committee. This committee is usually 5-6 folks, including the department supervisor, some people from the department you're applying to, and a couple of others from different departments on campus. After that, if you're still in the running, the President of the college has the final say after your 3rd and last interview with them.

This was my first time interviewing with Odessa College. The interview was conducted over Zoom with a committee of about 5-6 people, including the Math department Chair, another math instructor, and the Dean of Arts and Sciences. They mostly asked me questions about my willingness to participate in student activities, what I'd be willing to teach, and my online teaching experience. There wasn't a teaching demonstration. I was told the college president makes the final hiring decision.

The first round was a Skype call. Then, there was a second round which involved a presentation and a panel interview with the president. Both rounds were panel interviews. The president was really intense, and there was a lot of pressure to accept the job at the end. They did mention this could happen in the first round. They only offered me $200 to cover travel expenses since I came from two states away.
