The interview process was lengthy and intensive. After applying, I was emailed a questionnaire that addressed my views on education, race, feedback, and work-life balance. Next, I was granted a brief phone interview with a recruiter. This was less of a conversation and more of an extension of the emailed questionnaire. Then, I was asked to email a video of me working with students or coaching another teacher and provide a typed narrative and student work documents. This can be challenging if you are trying to maintain privacy at your current job. Luckily, I had a video recorded for a professional development session I facilitated. Finally, I was invited to attend an "Immersion Day" at one of the Uncommon Campuses. I was scheduled to be there from 7:30 to 1:45 and would participated in five different interview, role-playing scenarios. The expectation for these scenarios is that you will be fully immersed and pretend to provide authentic feedback. This felt incredibly unnatural. I was critiqued on how I stood, spoke with my hands, and my tone of voice. Feedback from facilitators was oftentimes conflicting and the response expectations often differed greatly from the prompts provided. After about a week, I was told that I would not be moving forward in the hiring process, but was invited to interview for a teaching position. I'm not sure if I made it to the last step in the interview process or if there were more steps.
