Interview
I was aware that they are well-known for bullying and playing bad cop/good cop during the interview, but I was unprepared for the utter rudeness and bullying that did occur. It almost felt that they wanted to shame and humiliate me as much as possible. I have an MA and 20 years experience in the field of teaching, and have interviewed people quite a bit in my life so was quite taken aback at how unprofessional it was. A friend did end up getting the job and loathed it there to the point where she has since gotten out of teaching, so I guess it was lucky I stayed put in my current position. (Please note: the interview was via Skype and the selection below on GlassDoor requires a city but the entire interviewing process was done online)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What level of Common European Framework of Reference for Languages my textbooks fell under. I am American and at the time, was unfamiliar with this tool. Now some time later it has become more common where I teach and I could easily answer this. This wasn't a difficult question but it was after ignoring my answers and scorn in the earlier interview that it came so it tripped me up.
