Technical Behavioral
Before the first interview, you get two tests. One is to check your writing skills, and the other is to check your reviewing abilities. Once you've passed those, you'll have one or sometimes two phone interviews. In these calls, you'll answer questions about your educational background, any breaks in your work history, your comfort with remote work, and general questions about yourself.

Behavioral Presentation
It was a really quick and easy process, everything was done online. First, I was contacted by a recruiter. Then, I had to answer some questions about my past experiences. After that, I had to do a mock tutoring session. The whole thing took about a couple of weeks from start to finish.

Behavioral Other
A recruiter reached out via email to schedule interview times. On the interview date, the recruiter called me. The conversation went really well. She told me about the job, what was needed for it, and how the company works. She mentioned that after the interview, I'd have to do three assessments to see if I'd be a good fit. The info she gave me was super useful for the assessments, as it helped me understand the company's tutoring methods.
