Interview
There were a few rounds which included a phone interview, a face to face interview with the hiring team, and a teaching demo lesson. I also spent some time touring the school and meeting with a few other faculty members.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Mackintosh Academy (Boulder, CO) in Jan 2014
Interview
Met with Executive Director and was hired on the spot. She "got" me and hired me in a lot of faith. I think she knew I was very capable given my cast experience, but wanted to check my values. Upon meeting me, I think she picked up that I am very purpose driven and would care about the students and the school, and she was right. She was criticized for not having a more thorough process - in hindsight, she perhaps should have launched a formal search. But there wasn't time and she is a seasoned woman, and trusted her instincts, accurately. Currently the interview process at Mackintosh is much more thorough, with screening phone calls, and in person interviews, at least a half of a day, with the new Head and a committee. It is very well done and very professional. My circumstances were unusual.
