Application
I interviewed at UC San Diego (San Diego, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
Was well carried out - specific and coordinated. Asked questions about the subject I was interviewing for and past teaching experience - pretty easy. Don't worry for most cases - only for super technical subjects and very partcular professors be worried.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Any previous teaching experience? Also, what LMS was the experience in.
There were a series of questions to inquire about regarding my background in education, including questions about my previous teaching roles and qualifications in the field for which I am applying. This includes discussing my teaching experiences within the specific field or subject area
