Fast and fun. Working interview dress comfy so you can play with kids. After seeing how you are with kids then you will panel or interview one on one with a director.

Got a call from management asking me to interview. Set up a group interview and was then hired after the background check. Group interview was to see how you got along with others, how you would redirect a kid and to do a lesson plan based on random props.
