Anonymous Employee in Washington, DC
I interviewed at Kaplan (Washington, DC)
Brief interview going over my resume with the school's lead. Very friendly. I then gave a sample lesson with students. She gave me feedback on the lesson on what they wanted at the school more than on my experience.
- Mostly relevant experience and why I felt I was a good fit and why I wanted to there. How I would manage any possible culture miscommunications or encourage students to step out of their comfort zone.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Kaplan
I appreciate that we got through the basics quickly in respect of everyone’s time. But they were looking for specific hours not in normal business hours, if this was in the job posting it could have saved us both more hassle/time. I had taken off work for this interview. They also should post more salary information as this was a concern for me.
- They read me hours for the position.

Interviewed for the role of an associate counsellor and the interview process was very smooth. They don’t seem to focus alot of your training, experience and counselling approach but more on whether you can handle crisis and if you can workload, giving an impression there is a lot of crisis intervention.
- How do you managed heavy workload.
