I applied online. I interviewed at Education First in Mar 2026
Interview
I received an initial email requesting a preliminary interview. A few days afterward, I received another email requiring me to complete a virtual, AI-driven assessment as well as to send in work samples. The final step, I believe, would have been an interview with someone else on the leadership team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- What draws you to Ed First’s mission and this specific role?
- Can you share 1-2 K-12 research projects you worked on? What was your role, and how did you synthesize findings into actionable insights or recommendations?
- Tell me about a time you received feedback on your research or analysis. How did you respond, and what did you change as a result?
- Tell me about a time you applied an equity lens to a research project or recommendation. How did you ensure your work advanced more equitable outcomes?
- Tell me about a time you presented findings or facilitated a group discussion. Who was the audience and how did you ensure your message landed?
- Tell me about a time you had to translate a complex, research-based idea into a recommendation or solution. What choices did you make about framing and messaging?
- Project teams include diverse stakeholders who vary in levels of seniority. Tell me about a time you had to manage up to a more senior member of a team. What approach did you take? What was the outcome?
- Tell me about a time you were juggling multiple projects. What was your strategy for managing competing priorities?
