Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Expect questions about why you chose a career in early childhood education and what you find most rewarding about the work.
The interview process was quick, and they were very kind and open to listening to my ideas. I arrived, and they were ready on time for me. The process afterwards was nice as well; they had me observe classrooms to see which I enjoyed most.
Interview was in person and lasted about 20 minutes comprising of background, experience, and situational interview questions. Interview was with assistance director and director of the center. Tour of the center was given following the interview.
