First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at WorldTeach.
Field Director
I got offered an interview the day I applied, and I interviewed the very next day, so they were pretty quick to get things moving. The interviews were done over Skype with staff from the U.S. and also from in-country. The goal was to see if I had the right skills and could handle working across different cultures.
- Can you tell me about how you manage people?
- How would you juggle managing volunteers while also fulfilling duties to other important people?
- What would be your response to a volunteer who felt you didn't grasp their situation?
Intern
The interview process was pretty relaxed, conducted over Skype. I was interviewed by two friendly people who didn't try to trick me with tough questions. However, there were significant delays between each step, with them taking about a month to respond after I submitted additional information.
- Could you explain why you believe you are a good fit for this role?
- Can you describe the most challenging decision you've had to make?
Field Director
The interview process with WorldTeach was quick and had a logical progression. I first spoke with the Program Manager, then the current Field Director, and finally what could be called the Regional Manager. The advice I give is the same as for most organizations: research the position and the company, look how your skills are transferable to those with which they seek, and be confident in your answers, voice, and mannerisms.
- How would you handle government officials who are not cooperative?
Teacher
The admissions team was great. They answered all my detailed questions thoroughly and quickly. My contact person was positive, friendly, and supportive. I ended up not choosing to teach with them, but I would recommend them if you're positive there's no reason you wouldn't complete your contract (or can afford to lose 2 grand). My interview was a Skype interview.
- What are some standard teaching-related questions?
- What are some cross-cultural related questions?
