Certification tests, mock lessons. The process was thorough, but you can tell how committed they are to finding incredible staff. The president gives the final lesson and interview, which I thought said a lot about the company. Great support, and great vibe.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They quizzed me on advanced topics in math and physics.
I applied online. I interviewed at Empire Edge (New York, NY) in Jul 2020
Interview
This was during the pandemic, so there was a quick phone call to verify some information and to set up a Zoom interview. After that, I was given an assessment of the areas I'm best qualified to teach. I liked that they did that, as many other places sort of took my word for it. It was not an easy process, so I definitely got the sense that they were looking for the best of the best. The final interview (again over Zoom) was with the president of the company, where I prepared a mini-lesson, and then we discussed pedagogy and even some adolescent psychology. The feedback I got during that discussion was incredibly helpful.

Question 1
I never got the sense that anyone was reading any list of questions. It was very targeted to my background and experience.
