Interview
Round 1: The first interview was with the program manager, who would be my boss. We discussed classroom management styles, curriculum development, and the nuts and bolts of what the job is like day-to-day.
Round 2: The second interview was with the program manager and the program manager's boss. This interview was largely a repeat of the first interview. The boss had run the program previously so it was another chance to ask questions about the program and be vetted by another person who had experience running it.
