Interview
You are sent an email to do your online interview. The interview is through an automated system with videos and then record your response. At one point for the subject I was applying to tutor there were 4 questions that you had to answer and come up with a lesson plan for in 10 minutes. I think interacting with a live person even if it is over the web would be much better than that. Interviewing with an automated system is as bad as calling a company and having to go through the auto attendant.

Question 1
I do not recall specifics each subject is different
I answered questions about how I would respond to various teaching scenarios in real time. The interviewer was a Bot, which surprised me. The Bot gave validating feedback throughout the interview. I wasn't sure if that was a good sign or not, thinking the platform might do that in any case. But I got hired.

Interview
Didn't even complete the interview. I expected it to be a normal one-way interview, but it was a conversation with a talking AI bot. I closed out of it immediately.
Makes me wonder what else they are using AI for in replace of actual employees.
