The first step was a phone call with HR, which felt pretty long for an initial screening. They mentioned a take-home assignment and three more interviews would follow. Honestly, for a job paying only around 45k, this seemed a bit much. To make matters worse, the day after my HR call, I got an automated email saying the position was on hold. It really felt like a waste of my time, and I suspect they already had an internal candidate and just needed to go through the motions of interviewing externally.

Behavioral Technical
I had a phone chat with a supervisor. They asked basic questions, seemed pretty straightforward. The job offered good benefits but the pay wasn't what I was hoping for, and they weren't flexible on salary. It turned out not to be the right fit. Honestly, it felt like an easy interview, probably good for someone just starting out.

Behavioral
The interview process was smooth and fast. They mostly inquired about my previous experience and my motivation for working with specific populations. The interviewers were polite and showed engagement. Since the interview was conducted online, it was difficult to get a sense of the actual working environment. It would have been better if the interview took place at the actual internship location.

It was a gossipy and openly opinionated interview about other staff. It was unprofessional and very unclear about overall operations. The interviewer did not seem knowledgeable about early childhood development. There is high turnover and ongoing staffing changes.

- What are your strategies for managing challenging behaviors in a classroom setting?
