      Office Manager/Special Projects Coordinator Interview

      30 May 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Brooklyn, NY
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uncommon Schools

      Interview

      This is a pretty basic/typical interview process. The first phone screening lasts 15-20 minutes and talks about why you want to work for Uncommon. After this, I was followed up via email to join and Immersion Day that last 4-5 hours. The Immersion Day has an intense skills test (role-plays, formal interview, excel testing, etc). These are reviewed by the team of interviewers, some are used later that day while some I think they review after the day has ended. Be prepared, if you are NOT passionate about Uncommon you will NOT get the job even if you have all the skills.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uncommon Schools (Brooklyn, NY) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      First I was asked to complete a prerecorded video interview, which I found to be extremely unnatural and sort of awkward to complete. Then a month later I was offered an interview in New York, and they paid for travel. The in-person interview was extremely long and exhausting, but was a really good way to meet the staff and gave me a lot of insight into the work culture. Included an excel test (which I did horribly on but still got a job offer), a priority exercise, and practice writing a sign up sheet for parent-teacher conferences.
