Application Review: The process begins with the hiring team reviewing resumes and applications to shortlist candidates who meet the job requirements.
Screening Interview: Often conducted over the phone, this initial interview helps narrow down the pool of candidates. It typically involves basic questions about your qualifications, experience, and interest in the role1.
Skill Assessment: Some positions may require candidates to complete a test or assignment to demonstrate their technical abilities. This could be a coding test, writing sample, or other relevant task1.
First Interview: This is usually a one-on-one interview with the hiring manager. It focuses on your skills, experience, and how well you fit the job and company culture1.
Second Interview: If you pass the first interview, you may be invited for a second round. This could involve more in-depth questions, meetings with other team members, or even a panel interview1.
Reference and Background Checks: Before making a final decision, employers often check your references and conduct background checks to verify your employment history and qualifications2.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Literacy Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, PA) in Apr 2021
Interview
I went through multiple rounds - first I met with Director of Education, then I made a video of a lesson for hypothetical students, then I also had an interview with Chief Program Officer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It's been a few years, so it's hard to remember. Probably classroom scenario-based questions. Questions about my teaching philosophy? I'm sure they asked why I wanted the job.

Interview
I received an email about scheduling an interview. I had a Zoom call with two people. During the interview, these people asked me some tough questions and were not responsive to any of my answers. The job was also described differently online than these interviewers described it. I never heard back from them at all--It would have been nice even to get a rejection instead of leaving me wondering. Fortunately, I got a better job offer not long after.
