Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Full Sail University (Winter Park, FL) nel mese di gen 2016
Colloquio
Positive experience with in-person interview on campus with 4 other faculty. Faculty was supportive and friendly and asked good questions. Second interview a week later by providing a presentation to 7 more faculty. Approximately one hour each interview. After one month, still waiting for an offer. Employee verificaton and background check has occurred.

Colloquio
Full Sail advertises that they are a nontraditional institution with flexible, nontraditional schedules (i.e. some faculty have to teach face to face courses at 1am). When I began to ask about the unusual schedule, one of the interviewers seemed to be displeased. The job was also advertised as being "flexible" but I was told at the interview that I'd have to work on site M-F from 9-5pm for a full month before I'd be *considered* for flexibility outside normal business hours. After trying to get some clarification, the interviewer became agitated and said to me, "It sounds like you don't really want to work here!" Look, I'm just trying to understand what type of schedule will be expected of me. I have just as much a right to interview you as you do me. Needless to say, I was not hired. Thank you for doing me a favor. I don't apply to jobs that offer flexibility so I can be micromanaged.

I responded to an ad placed in an academic job listing (higheredjobs.com). Even though Full Sail is a for-profit, I figured that it would be pretty difficult to be hired there, and since I'd sent out dozens of resumes for typical academic not-for-profit positions (community colleges, for instance), I was used to never hearing word back due to the economy and the current glut of people looking for teaching positions. Full Sail contacted me about two weeks after I E-mailed my materials. A phone interview was set up a week or so later, and this interview was very casual. As another poster wrote, the interview is not as intense as an academic interview at a not-for-profit. In fact, by the end of the conversation, I was more or less told that I had the job. Three weeks later, I had a second interview via Skype video with the same initial interviewer and another senior faculty member. This interview also wasn't very difficult. The next day, I received a phone call with the job offer. The only thing that made me nervous is how easy it was to land the position. Are candidates avoiding for-profits? Is Full Sail desperate for instructors? Does Full Sail have a high turnover rate? We will see once I start work at Full Sail?

No real difficult questions. Questions included: 1) Why do you want to teach at Full Sail? 2) What do you find most rewarding about teaching? 3) Ideally, what do you look for in a working/department environment? 4) What type of work culture do you best thrive in (this was asked because you are required to be "on campus" 20 hours per week, and they want to see if you are eager to be an active, contributing member of the department). 5) How do you handle plagiarism.
There were other questions that I cannot remember, but most of them are general. As long as you respond comfortably and honestly, you should be fine!
