Macaulay Child Development Centre interview questions

I recently interviewed for an HR Coordinator role, and I was honestly taken aback by the length and intensity of the process. It felt like it went on forever—about 4 to 5 stages, with multiple rounds of interviews with different people. While I appreciate thoroughness, this felt excessive for an entry-level HR position. The interviewer was not particularly friendly, which made the experience less comfortable than I would have liked. After making it all the way to the final round, I ended up waiting a long time to hear back, only to be told I didn't get the role. Overall, the interview process was much longer and more grueling than I expected for an HR Coordinator position. I understand they want to find the best fit, but I think this kind of process is overkill for a role like this.

Initial interview with HR manager then another interview with 2 Early Learning Manager. The second interview asked about my previous experiences, what I would do if there was an emergency in a classroom and about other compliance/policy matters. I was a supervisor at a different centre so many of the questions I had plenty of experiences to draw from but it may be challenging for someone who had not been a supervisor before.
