Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at VOICE Charter School.
Teacher
It started with me doing a demo lesson with the team. After that, I had an interview with the Deans, and then another interview with the principal. Email communication was smooth the whole time, and the questions were a mix of easy and difficult. Overall, it felt like a typical interview process.
- Can you tell me about a time you were successful?
- Describe a situation where you failed and explain the steps you took to overcome it.
Teacher
It was a pretty easy phone interview to start. Then I went in for an interview that was supposed to start at 8 am but could end whenever. They really didn't know when it would finish. After that, they had me teach for about 5 minutes, and then they seemed to narrow down the candidates since a lot of people came in on the same day. I taught again for about 5 minutes, but this time they mentioned they'd give me feedback while I was teaching, which was interesting since I was in front of the students. Just a heads-up if you make it to the second round. Also, it gets really hot in the lower grade building on a warm day. And definitely bring stuff to keep yourself occupied because I literally spent hours just waiting for them to prep the next part of the day.
- Tell me about a time you had to apologize and describe how you handled it.
Teacher
Started with a few phone interviews that were mainly for giving information. The interviewer talked about the school's guiding principles and asked questions about how I'd act based on those principles. Then came a really long in-person interview, like 6 hours. A lot of that time was just waiting around. In total, I only spent about an hour with the interview team. I had to teach a practice lesson, get feedback, and then teach it again. The interviewers were pretty aggressive with their questions, seeming to want me to feel uncomfortable.
- Regarding hypothetical situations, what action would you take and what would be your reasoning?
