A few months after applying for an adjunct pool, I got an email to set up an interview for three weeks later. There was a (zoom) panel of 4 instructors from different departments. It was a very simple 5 question interview with basic questions about strengths/weaknesses and teaching experience. The interview itself was straightforward, but afterward it was very difficult to get any basic information about 1) whether or not I had actually been hired/added to the pool, and 2) how to get assigned classes to teach.

The interview was pretty straightforward. I met with the Dept. Chair of English in her office and she asked me several general questions about my teaching methods. After about ten minutes she said for me to walk over to the main secretary and fill out my employment information (I was hired).

They asked pretty standard questions like greatest strength, weakness, what's my greatest teaching triumph, when have I had a struggling student, hardest teaching moment and what I learned, and how I deal with behaviors in the classroom.

The interview was with the department head. It involved a series of questions to determine if you're suited for higher-education teaching. They want to know if you had any experience teaching in a classroom setting, describe your teaching approach, strengths and weaknesses, how would you handle different situations in the classroom. After the interview, I had to keep contacting the department head in order to actually get the job.
