I had no teaching/managing experience, was not familiar at all with the Berlitz method and still got hired because of my academic background and my performance during and after training.

When I arrived for my in-person visit, the hiring chair told me that she distinctly remembered how I answered the question "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
