I applied online. I interviewed at Lena Pope (Fort Worth, TX) in Feb 2024
Interview
Applied for a special education teacher position. Questions were general, and not directly related to the position. It was clear that they were considering me for other positions. Offered a long-term sub position (in gen ed) with the claim that I would make more money since it was only four months remaining in the school year. I accepted and completed the drug test. However, the requested comparison of the compensation didn't support the principal's claim. Given my experience and education, the expectation of doing certified teacher work for $135 to $145 a day with no benefits was insane. If there were reservations, don't extend any offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would former supervisors and colleagues say about you?
Tell me about your personal life.
The process was simple and questions help narrow down if I was fit for the job. You need to have a passion to work with kids, especially at the early childhood stage.
