Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso BookNook (San Francisco, CA)
Colloquio
You fill out an application. They ask you general interview questions to gauge your qualifications. Then you answer one-way interview questions, including having to read a children's book to imaginary students and answer questions they may have.

Can you read the book to students as if they were sitting in front of you? How would you interact with them?
Application, then invitation to a one way interview with six questions. I knew there would be a demo lesson from what I had read on their website but wasn’t expecting it to be the last of the six question interview (I thought it would be recorded separately) - You have 3 minutes to present a lesson on the topic they assign that has 3 elements to it. I thought about putting a pin in it at this point but knew many others were applying too. I went ahead and recorded the demo lesson and lived to regret it. The interview questions were awkwardly worded. I wasn’t sure if I got the job or not from their response. I mean how do you take you haven’t displayed the skills to be a tutor so we want you to take lessons in early 2022, keep in mind we have had many people apply but would like to stay in touch. Also, be forewarned I have already successfully worked indirectly for them, have a Master’s in Teaching and am a state certified teacher. That interview was nothing but a joke.

How does a teacher’s mindset effect students growth and achievement?
Per instructions, I prepared for a six question one-way video interview. That means that they can ask you anything via prerecorded video and you video your answers. They don't tell you if you can do a second take and they don't tell you how many minutes your answers should be. (Except once you have already started.) Then, surprise, they want you to teach a five minute class. There are 300+ applicants so you know everything has to be AMAZING. --- The killer is that they never got back to me. That's the worst part.

Tell me about yourself. (Or something like that.) I can say that they gave me unlimited takes and plenty of time, but I did not know this when I was preparing.
