It was a really basic, scripted interview. They asked about 5 to 8 questions and wrote down my answers. They wanted to hear my thoughts on managing a classroom, how I present and adjust curriculum for different students, and how I deal with disagreements with colleagues.

The interview process was a bit strange. Even though I have the credentials, the interviewers didn't seem to know much about licensing, which is usually straightforward. During Covid, they expected me to figure out licensing details from specialists myself, even after I'd already explained that the school just needed to want me for a license. Nobody was picking up the phone or calling back. I felt I did well, but they hired someone who was already licensed instead of giving me a fair shot. This might not be a common issue, as others seemed well-informed about licensing. It’s a shame because I really wanted that job.
