The interview was really fun. They gave you about 30 minutes to recreate a piece of art as best as you could. Afterwards, they took down your information and kept your painting sample with it. They mentioned that the job application is always open, but they only hire when they have a need, such as around the holidays.

Behavioral Presentation
Had a quick chat with the management/hiring folks, gave them my contact and payment details since it's a contract gig. Then they asked me to get on stage and act like I was introducing myself to a whole class. After that, they showed me a sample painting and told me to copy it in under an hour. I was left alone in a classroom to paint while they did their own thing around the studio. Once I finished, they gave me some feedback and explained what a typical day was like. They also mentioned that after the interview, there's a month-long 'probationary period' where I'd work with an experienced instructor.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The whole thing was basically just a casual chat and then a painting test. We started with a chill conversation about what the job is all about, like what you'd have to do, when you'd work, and how much you'd get paid. The folks in charge, the manager and co-manager, then asked me a bit about my background and past gigs, like if I'd ever taught before. That bit didn't even take 30 mins. Then, they had me copy a painting – a landscape sunset – and I had about an hour for it, though they said to take my time and go over if needed. Once I was done, they came back to check out my painting and gave me some pointers. Then we wrapped things up.

I applied for the job posting online by sending in my resume and cover letter. After that, I got an email inviting me for a phone interview. It was about 20 minutes long, pretty casual, and they asked about stuff on my resume, like my current job or school. They also asked what I knew about the company and if I'd checked out their website. After the phone interview, they set up a time for me to come in for an in-person studio tour and interview.
