The interview was done online via videos. It kinda sucked because they'd give you a limited time to read a question before it started recording, making it more stressful than if they had just asked it in person.

Behavioral Technical

It was an online interview over zoom, where questions were asked verbally and shown on the screen. Two people were interviewing. One asked the questions, and the other typed out the answers. It was pretty fast. It was scheduled for half an hour, but it only took about fifteen to twenty minutes.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you tell me about your experience with the growing success document?

Behavioral Technical

Remote interview, 6 questions, 30 minutes. Two interviewers, they make sure they explain the process before the timer starts. After they read you the question they also type it in a chat box and you do have enough time to read it and think about your answers.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Tell me about teamwork and collaboration between teaching partners.
