It was a good interview process. I enjoyed everything and had a good time teaching. I was asked some really good questions and was also asked to tutor a student, which was a cool thing to do during a short interview.

The interview was pretty chill and not scary at all. I was taken to a room in the Upward Bound Office where the program director, recruitment coordinator, and student counselor were sitting at a table. They asked me some pretty basic questions about my background, what I wanted to achieve, and why I wanted to join the program. After we talked for about half an hour, they gave me a writing prompt about why I wanted to be a tutor for a non-profit that helps low-income young people, and then left me alone in the room to finish it.

It was an in-person interview before COVID. I met with the director and the tutor coordinator. They mostly asked me situational questions. Since I couldn't commit to their specific hours that semester, I discussed it with them for the following semester. I didn't have to interview again, just submitted my availability.
