Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a successful project I have ever planned.
Robust and challenging. Very unique and unlike others which is fair enough given the type of organisation so I respected it and found it very challenging. 2 person panel in person interview.
Basically, they asked me about a previous lesson I taught and then a bunch of: "tell me about a time you had a difficult student." questions. Over all not very stressful.
