Freedom School Partners interview questions

We interviewed in groups of us, where we would each take turns answering random questions. Before the interview started, we watched a video that lasted about 30ish minutes about Freedom School and what it's like to work there. The video featured previous employees talking about their experience, so it was a good method of giving us an idea of what Freedom School was all about. The questions we were asked were challenging questions that prompted us to really dig deep to find the qualities within ourselves that would make us valuable employees. They also asked questions that evaluated whether or not we would work well with the overall Freedom School dynamic. Overall, the interview process was very enjoyable, and having an idea of who we were competing against was very beneficial in terms of giving us an idea of whether or not we would be hired. However, some things that went on in the interview were misleading. For example, there are a number of Freedom School sites throughout Charlotte (I believe 16), and during the interview, the interviewer made a point of asking us each individually which part of Charlotte we lived in and whether or not we had reliable transportation. We were told that they would do their best to place us in a site close to our residences, and that they saw this as especially important for those of us who would be relying on bus lines to get to work. Despite this, multiple coworkers and I were placed in the site farthest from our homes. While I had a car, one coworker who lived nearby did not, and had said so in the interview, and the buses did not run early enough to get him to work on time. The commute to work was over an hour each way without traffic, despite some of the closer sites being 15 minutes or less from where we lived, and over a third of what we were paid all summer went just to paying to gas to get there. This was one thing that was very frustrating to many of us, as we felt misled in terms of what our expectations were set to be by the interviewer.
