I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at General Assembly (New York, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
Interview was several rounds. First a short phone interview to gauge interest, then a work sample that proposed various scenarios related to the job. Finally, I had another interview via video conference with another Producer and two instructors.
After this, I literally did not hear back AT ALL from the contact I was communicating with. This is super unprofessional to leave someone hanging like that. Overall, the process ended up being a waste of time and energy.

How do you think working with adult learners might be challenging? What skills do you have that would make you the idea person for this role?
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at General Assembly
Interview
After applying, I received an initial email to establish a connection. The manager interviewed me over the phone for about 30 minutes. She told me she would be in touch with me about the position and emailed me about a week later and invited me for a video chat interview (I could not make it in person). Second interview was with a colleague, not the same person. It was another person from the Education Programs team.

Question 1
How do you feel about working with adult students?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at General Assembly (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
I was contacted 2 days after applying and had an interview using video chat that same day. Just a basic get to know you deal. Then I was invited the come in for an in-person interview. The in-person interview was somewhat tedious as I met with 3 different people (1:1 consecutively) who asked essentially all the same questions. However the people were pleasant and seemed genuine. It was a good experience otherwise.
Everything went great and it seemed like their reactions were indicating I was getting the job. They said they'd be in touch early the following week. I didn't hear from them and contacted them. They delayed a bit more until the next week and told me I was out. I guess they found someone "more qualified" or that they liked better. No hard feelings though.
