I have to write this interview because I felt responsible to share my experience especially for parents sending their kids to this school. I have PhD in math and have been teaching graduate level courses in different European universities. I applied to this position b/c just moved to the US and want to settle myself first. I know this is not my ideal position. I applied for math teaching position online. After 2 weeks I was contacted by recruiter for phone interview. Then after a week, I went to the school located in DC for demo teaching and interview. On the interview date I arrived on time and met the person in charge. She took me to an office and introduced me to here 3 colleagues. The strange thing I experienced are: 1. All of them are not near math professionally. How can Biology and History teachers evaluate math ability of someone who has PhD in Math? 2. Before all the process started they told me two of the teachers who are sitting for interviewing me have to leave in 5 minutes because they have other things to do. They also told me other two teachers will come join them after I started the demo teaching. How can someone write a report about an interview with out attending the entire interview time? 3. In the entire demo and interview process, the guys don’t have my resume in front of them, they don’t take any note, they don’t ask any meaning full question. All the time they were acting like kids in kindergarten. 4. The funny part comes finally, one of the guy asked me if I know any computer programming language. I said yes I do. Then I asked him if I have to teach programming as Math teacher, He said no. Then I asked him if any programming course is given in the school. He said again No. I was surprised why he is asking such stupid question being a teacher. 5. At the end of the interview I was told I am supper qualified for the position. What I can conclude is the teachers and management do things in unorganized way. They don’t even know how to perform an interview process and ask meaning fulll questions. Being a parent I will nevel dare to send my kinds to a school having suck kinfs of "Teachers" and managemetn

The interview process seems simple. There was an initial interview that covered basic questions and introduced me to the fellow teachers and administrators I would be working for. The second interview was more of the same but farther in depth. I was going to schedule a demo class but something came up and I had to cancel.
