Explore Learning video interview

The online interview process is quite straightforward, but a bit daunting if it's the initial interview as you are talking to a screen and your answers are being recorded and sent off. DO NOT PANIC. But the final interview process is really lovely. You're interviewed by really nice friendly people so it's nothing to worry about.Good Luck!

Hey what questions did they ask you at the interview

Hey,
For the first video interview the questions were how are you a professional and credible role model, how will you engage all children, how would you teach Zainab this fraction (and then they gave an example of a mixed fraction and gave you some time to solve it) and how will you encourage fearless learning.

For the live interview it was things like why explore? Why tutor at explore? Have you been in a centre? Zainab is usually loud but was withdrawn one day when you were working - what would you do? If you saw a child being rude to another what would you do? How would you want parents to see you when working at Explore? They also asked about logistics too e.g. availability. Then they also send a maths and English test which you complete within an hour and it was easy so no trouble with that x

Good luck!

Thank you so much xx

If you don’t mind me asking how did you answer the question if ‘zainab was withdrawn what would you do’ x

No problem x

And I said I would approach them and speak calmly and quietly to them.
I would not ask any leading questions and will ask only open questions such as can you tell me what happened? It may be the case that they are just having an off-day but if it is a bigger situation, I will show that the incident is a priority. I will listen to the student and if there is a disclosure, I will not be judgemental. I will never reject something that they are saying though I will never promise the child that I will not tell anyone what they told me. I would be aware of who the safeguarding lead is and pass everything onto them.

Thank you xxx

I just did my video interview and I messed up on the zainab question. I was explaining it and didn’t realise the time went so fast so it just cut off and I wasn’t able to fully answer the question. I also has notes around my screen to help me. Do you think they would notice/ discredit me if they realised? Really annoyed as I really want this job.

The exact same thing happened to me with the Zainab question bc I found it was not enough time! However I still got through to the next part so I'm sure it isn't that deep!
I'm not sure if they would have noticed... Were you looking at the camera when talking? I'm sure it will be fine x

Thank you that’s reassuring. I was looking in the middle of the screen 😬😬. Did you manage to get a job offer?

How many questions did they ask in total? How long did the live interview last?
