I was interviewed by 5 panelist, gave a brief introduction followed by 10 minutes demonstration, and 15 minutes of q&a, before i had the chance to be asking questions. The process was fairly conducted, not much was really discussed about the outcome process, it was mostly left to the HR.
I applied online. The process took 9 months. I interviewed at HCT (Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi) in Mar 2025
Interview
Pretty straight forward interview honestly. 10 min lesson demo and a panel conversation/ questions. Many questions about past experience and how that would add value to the university. Conversation was good friendly panel sat there.
There were two members in the panel. First I was asked to introduce myself. After that a few questions were asked. Questions were pedagogical. They had to finish the process in 30 minutes. So I could ask them one question.
