      Special Projects Coordinator Interview

      7 May 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uncommon Schools in Apr 2019

      Interview

      Pre recorded video interview that gave set amount of times to read/listen to the question, time to think, and time to respond. Overall it was a very structured process but I thought it was a little impersonal for a school position because I believe you should be able to show your personality more.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Brooklyn, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Uncommon Schools (Brooklyn, NY) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      There was an initial screening interview, preset recorded questions to which you recorded your answers. This was similar to a phone interview. Then there was an in person interview where 4 or 5 other candidates were also brought in, but no aspect was a group interview. During the in person interview, 4 tasks were to be completed (write a letter to parents, an excel task, project management plan, etc.) and two 1 on 1 interviews were held. Overall, the interview took about 6 hours. The recruiter was kind, but the overall process was disorganized.
