Palomar Community College interview questions

Very rigid interview structure. Went into a room for 15 minutes to prepare pre-selected 10 questions. Then, I was shown into a room with about 10 faculty members who read through the questions in order. No follow-up questions were asked. Part of the 10 questions was a fifteen minute teaching demo, which had to be done with absolutely no technology. I had use of the whiteboard and could provide a one-page handout. Overall, I had a positive experience, and everyone was very nice. I didn't make it to the second round, and I would have liked a less rigid interview structure. For instance, it would have been nice if any of the committee members would have offered follow-up questions; however, I understand that HR may not have allowed them to do that.

Typical Academic Interview however the job posted stated that faculty may occasionally be asked to assist with the forensics team but almost every interview question was about literal coaching experience. This department is shady, they hired the wife of a full-time faculty member who's husband was on her hiring committee. Nepotism much?
