I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IXL Learning in Jan 2024
Interview
I interviewed with IXL for two different curriculum designer positions.
For the first position, I had a phone screen with the recruiter. Then, I had another interview with someone from the curriculum team, and finally I had a take home test.
For the second position, I had another phone interview and then received the take home test.
After submitting the take home test for both positions, IXL decided to move forward with other candidates. These take home tests are very time consuming. I don't understand why the company would even interview me for another position and ask to me complete a different take home test if they didn't see me as a potential candidate. This just makes no sense.
I am incredibly shocked I did not move forward after the take home test the second round. For context, I have an incredible amount of experience with curriculum, creating assessments, adapting tasks, etc. I really think they are using interviewees work to fine tune their questions and feedback.
If not, why put a candidate through this experience twice.
I don't think it's worth it to apply to this company as a curriculum designer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a reading lesson in which you supported students to access the text/task. How did you support struggling readers? How did you support other students?
Pretty straightforward. The recruiter will call you and ask some pre-screening question then you will be asked to complete a task within a week. The task consists of grammatical correction, alignment and information clarity.
Had a phone screening which went well, followed by a work product. The instructions on the work product were overall very vague, and took a lot of guessing/assuming what they were looking for. It took me about 5 hours total, and I received a rejection email stating that no feedback would be given and with no further explanation.
The interview consisted of a recruiter call. Then a 2nd call. Then a remote meeting via zoom where I was drilled with questions that didn't seem to math the role I applied for. Zero emotions shown. No smiles.
