I applied online and submitted a one-way video. Those parts t were pretty easy. The interview I had was unlike anything I have ever experienced, if I could describe it in one word it would be SEXIST. For one, the interviewer (a guy) asked my what my favorite books were and after I shared the literature I enjoy reading he stated that those types of books (and literary criticism) were not accessible to the children in the program. Of course not! He asked me about my personal favorites not what I would choose for the children. Then he asked me what I would do in a scenario and I went on to describe what I would do. He then told me he would do it differently and took about 3 minutes to role play how he would talk to a mother-mind you he never asked me to role-play. He also told me I needed to seem more "perky and enthusiastic" and he completely policed my tone. He asked my what type of car I drove (oddest question ever) and when I disclosed that I drive a luxury car, he could not hold back his facial gestures. He then asked me if I could worked outside of my assigned area should a need arrive and I said yes. He asked me the same question 3 different ways and I kept saying yes (probably because I disclosed that I have a child myself.) For several months of work, over 40 hours per week, and really inconvenient commutes...I am very happy I ended being able to choose from three very competitive internships and that I did not end up here. My advice to women is that you might have to play up being "perky", hide your children, and by all means pretend you drive a Honda as to not hurt the fragile ego of the bitter hiring teacher who has less to show for.

The interview process started with an online app. Then someone would schedule a video interview to ask some pretty regular interview questions about strengths, etc. and then some practical applications, for example what you would do in different teaching scenarios.
