I met with 4 people in a room and they asked me some scenario based questions. It was pretty easy. They called me back for the lead teacher position in less than a week, because my supervisor retired.

It was a panel interview, they asked me some scenario questions about the role. After they were done asking questions, I got to ask them questions, which you totally should ;). After the interview, HR contacted me about the decision or an offer.

I got a call where they gave me a quick rundown of the job and asked me some experience questions. Then I had a virtual interview which went really well, and the job seemed great. I ended up turning down the offer after not getting the pay I wanted because I got a better offer somewhere else. Tough choice.
