Interview
Dreadful. I prepared for several days. Their platform kept crashing and the demo class was a disaster. Also the interviewer was not interested in me at all. Onwards and upwards!
I applied online. I interviewed at Lime English (Ðà Nẵng, Ðà Nẵng) in May 2021
Interview
1. Selected via Teacher Record. 2. Scheduled first interview. 3. First interview canceled by them, as they needed to run a connection test before our meeting. 4. Met someone who was probably the owner. The man was stone-faced and a bit cold, with no smile and very little warmth. It felt like a cattle-call, just-the-facts situation. This was followed by a brief demo, where he tried to act like a 12-year-old Chinese middle school student. His memorized answers were nailed down a little too tight, and he looked and sounded a bit bored and uninspired, like he was waiting for some magical teaching style to blow him out of his seat, which made things awkward for me from the start. To be honest, I wasn't doing all that well interacting or 'teaching' the kid using the visuals provided anyway. He soon stopped me, saying I'd done "pretty well" and that he and his team would let me know within a couple of days. It's now only day three but the cards are pretty much on the table. My impression: young, good-looking native speakers in their 20s or 30s, or even their early 40s, are getting most of the positions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The main thing he wanted to know was if I had any experience teaching journalism, to which I said I did. I'd taught a journalism class at Xiamen University in China, designing the entire course myself. I then told him I had a journalism degree and had also worked in television as a news reporter and sports anchor.
