J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez The Goddard School (Aurora, IL)
Entretien
Applied online and director called me in for an interview.
She asked if I brought my resume.
I didn't because she never told me to AND there is an option on the application to upload your resume separately, which I did! No one else has ever asked me for my resume because I always upload it online or send it in an email.
She said they like to move teachers around all the time instead of keeping them in one room. She also said they are hiring for several teachers/classrooms right now, which is a red flag for me, because this is NOT a new school. Why did all those teachers leave? High turnover is a big red flag.
I left the interview knowing I didn't want to work there

Question 1
She didn't ask any questions to see how I would be as a teacher.
Most unexpected question was "Did you bring your resume?"
It was submitted with the online application. Why would I bring another copy when she can just print it out?
I got asked a variety of situational questions and about my experience before being given a tour of the facilities. It was very standard and I felt comfortable talking about everything, I got a few details about benefits and perks.

It was about an hour with a lot of in depth questions that you have to kind of be prepared for. Also I didn’t originally interview for lead teacher but they offered me that job title which is a step down from what I was interviewing for.
