      Great interview because you get to see the classrooms and understand the type of environment you will be working in. The teachers in the classrooms were very helpful and gave you a lot of information and HR was really nice and also made sure you are a good fit for the role.

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at May Institute (Woburn, MA) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      The interview process opened the door to see the classrooms with the students going about their days. The first hour of the interview involved going to each of the four classrooms, talking with the lead teachers in each classroom, meeting the students, and getting to ask any questions about the classroom. The next part of the interview was with the Educational Director where she discussed more in depth about the position and what the job involved.

      Anonymous employee
      Randolph, MA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at May Institute (Randolph, MA) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      They checked to see if you were breathing then dropped you in a classroom for an hour to observe. After the interview, you meet with somebody to go over the day to day responsibilities then asked if you can handle it. They are clear that people are injured on a regular basis from student behaviors. If you accept a job here, you will most likely be placed in the classroom you observed in.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Do you like children? Are you OK with getting hurt at work? Are you OK with assisting students with toiling?
