I applied through university. I interviewed at Village Learning Place
Interview
I was recruited through my undergraduate school. The interview process was over the phone. It was very short and simple, with only a few questions about why I wanted the position, my background working with kids, and what I would do in certain situations.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Village Learning Place
Interview
I came in for an in-person interview. I interviewed with the ED and a person that the open position would supervise. The interview was pretty typical nothing too out of the ordinary. They also had a written portion where they asked me to complete some grant reports and a proposal for a project. I tend to dislike these kinds of "tests" because I have valuable skills and I do freelance on the side, so it kind of gets under my skin when I'm asked to invest a good amount of time in something I would otherwise be paid to do. I didn't really get a great impression, so I decided not to pursue the position, although I believe finalists also interviewed with the board chair.

Question 1
This interview had a few questions about my experience, however, they basically relied on the standard list of mundane interview questions. You know the tell me your top 3 strengths, your weaknesses, how have you handled conflict, where do you want to be in five years... I was honestly surprised they didn't also do the whole "sell me this pen" bit.
