Declined Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL (US) Feb 2011 – Reviewed Sep 22, 2012
Interview Details You undergo a stage process. Once you sign up for an account online, you complete the online application and then wait. If your application is approved, you'll be invited to a phone interview which you'll schedule a time for. The phone interview is easy - they ask about what you do and how you keep yourself organized. If they like yyou, you'll be invited to an in-person interview. The in person was straightforward. Group interview. Sample teaching lesson. Individual interview. Then they will let you know via email if you're in.
Interview Question – They ask in the individual interview you have in person what you'd do in a specific scenerio. The senerio i got was about a school district I wanted to start an after school history club in but there was no money. So you have to convince the principal (the interviewer) why you should have the program. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I was offered a place in the special ed department and I couldn't teach special ed.
Other Details - I applied online and the process took 2 months.
