The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Success Academy Charter Schools (New York, NY) in Mar 2024
Interview
I filled out a preliminary questionnaire with the referral of a staff member/educator. There were two video interview questions glossing over what I could bring to the table and what my experience with rising up to challenges was. Following the two video interviews, there were two short answer questions. I was comfortable with the first short answer question, but did not enjoy answering the second one. I answered "robustly" as they recommended but am certain my response did not bring me to the next round. I thought it cavalier to ask for a two-year commitment in the way it was asked, but it makes sense since this is an organization with very high educator turnover. I felt that the two year commitment should have been part of the requirements in the summary of employment requirements.
