A recruiter called me after finding my resume on Indeed. The recruiter was with a company tied to Pathways, but the relationship between the two companies was not clarified when I inquired. I agreed to an in-person interview based on the job description the recruiter provided. During the interview, I found out that the recruiter had given me some incorrect information about the position.
The interviewers were school administrators. When the interview was supposed to start, one interviewer continued texting for several minutes (said it was something she had to take care of), and another came late. The interviewers asked me what I knew about the position based on my conversation with the recruiter. After I shared what I had been told, they corrected the inaccurate information the recruiter had provided.
The interview questioning was typical for teacher interviews: the interviewers took turns asking scripted questions they read from a sheet of paper; the interviewers scribbled down notes about my answers; the interviewers said the scripted "thank you" after I answered each question and asked no direct follow-up questions in response to my answers.
When they were done asking questions, they asked if I had any questions. Even though I knew at that time I would not be teaching at Pathways, I did ask about a couple of things I was curious about. First, I asked them what teachers and admin do on Fridays since no students come to school that day. They answered that Fridays were for meetings, paperwork, and professional development. One full day of every week for these tasks struck me as unusual/excessive based on my experience, but I did not question it further. I also asked them what they do when students aren't completing the required coursework, since I figured this was a common issue at a school like Pathways. They answered that teachers and admin "do whatever we can," including regularly conducting home visits to meet with students. (I would never accept a teaching position that requires home visits, so if I had known this in advance, I would not have agreed to an interview.)
