      SAT Teacher Interview

      Sep 1, 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Woodside, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at CCB School (Woodside, NY) in Aug 2013

      Interview

      I applied for a teacher job here. The ad made it a point to mention there were both part time and full time positions. The building I interviewed at was their main office in Woodside/Jackson Heights. The building looks run down and not conducive to representing a brand, a nice place to work, or a nice place to learn. When I entered, the receptionist was rude and simply asked, "What." I said I had an interview and the receptionist just huffed and said, "Sit," while pointing to a chair in a different room. (I should have at least gotten a cookie for being so obedient, maybe?) After a minute or two, a gentleman came out and just gestured for me to follow him; no introductions at all. We sat down at a kitchen table in a different room and he very brusquely demanded my résumé, then per used it while ordering me to talk about myself. As he read, there was very little reaction from my interviewer. When I stopped speaking, he asked me what experience I had teaching, which struck me as odd since he was not only holding my résumé in front of his face, he just read it. As the discussion continued, he asked me what I was looking for. The instant I said I would like a full-time opportunity if one was available, he immediately yelled out, "No full time!" I admit, it was odd to be yelled at for something so small, especially on an interview. He then continued to explain, almost angrily, that he didn't do full time positions, that if I should go elsewhere if I wanted full time, muttered something about needing to rewrite the ad, and told me he wouldn't have anything. Full time for at least two years, and that I should "thank Obama for that." I hoped to use this as a springboard into maybe improving the situation and made a neutral comment about law and economy not meeting where they should for small business owners such as himself. He looked at me, said it was too expensive, and that he wasn't going to pay $1000 a month to insure me. I shrugged it off and said, "understandable," just to keep the discussion moving. He then asked about my desired rate of pay. I suggested my rate at $25/hr, as that is the going rate for tutors with NY certification. Immediately, he yelled, "No! Way too much!" I replied by asking what the general pay range was for teachers at the center, then, to which he replied, "Not $25," and told me I was asking too much and to give him a new number. Without even a range to help me, I said "$20," which got a huff and he noted it on my résumé. Then he asked me what I got on the SAT, which I haven't taken since 1997, and he got irritated that I didn't remember. He then asked me when I took it, I told him 1997, and he said he wanted me to take one then and there. I was totally unprepared to take an exam, but I agreed. He led me to a room and told me to do all but one section. While I was taking the test, he began interviewing another candidate. I wasn't paying too much attention, but it sounded like he wasn't yelling at this new interviewee. Eventually, he brought her into the room I was testing and had her begin. When I was finished, I had to go find him; the instant he saw me, he yelled out, "Too fast!" Mind you, I had just been in a dingy room with no air conditioning and sealed for two hours in 90 degree weather wearing a suit, and this was too soon to possibly have completed his exam. He told me he'd mail me my results.

      Question 1

      Taking an SAT when my last exposure to half of the information covered was over 16 years ago. I'm an English teacher, my math scores should not be a priority.
