It usually takes a few steps to get through, starting with a quick screening, then maybe a phone or video chat, followed by meeting in person. They might also give you some kind of test or check your references. The main idea is to find someone who fits the job well and is a good match for what the company is all about.

Behavioral Technical

It was a three step process where I had to submit my application, then I was shortlisted and then I had an interview. I had to submit my CV and resume along with a reference from my current supervisor. The supervisor then had to complete a suitability statement about my work.

Case Presentation Behavioral

I presented my case study to three people who were friendly. It was a presentation-style discussion. They also asked standard questions about my previous roles, achievements, work style, challenges, how I handle difficult people, my career goals, and why I'm interested in this specific job.

Presentation Behavioral

The interview process was pretty straightforward. I had to present a portfolio showing how I met the Queensland standards for teachers, using stuff from my practicum. They also asked about working in a team and behaviour management, like how I'd deal with a difficult student or class.
