      English Teacher Interview

      Feb 18, 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at EF Education First in Oct 2010

      Interview

      There were two interviews. First with my immediate boss and then another interview with another 'boss' based in China. It's a teaching job so I emphasised how I enjoy teaching and the self satisfaction of helping other people. Can't remember the questions really..... sorry. The most important thing turned out to be the first interview with my immediate coordinator/boss. She basically said, the next interview is just a formality - "I make the real decision if I want you to work with us". So it is important to impress your immediate coordinator and just go through the motions with the next interviewer in China. I have previous real teaching experience and just self reflecting on that during the interview helped me get through.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at EF Education First (Cape Town)

      Interview

      They asked confusing questions with no real context behind it. I think they should given more scenario based questions for this type of job interview. It just felt very awkward and chaotic.
