Similar to the other people who have posted about this company, I applied online and received an email back asking me to come in for a screening to see if I would make the next cut. I was told about the format of the interview process--first, there would be a powerpoint presentation, then a critical thinking test which is timed (30 min.) and last, a spelling test. Then she would be calling us into another room one by one to interview us for a position as clinician. After the powerpoint and before the critical thinking exam, she told us that there was a training which, if we were chosen for the position, would take 2 full weeks, and we would be paid for. If we continued on with the job, we would have to work full-time for 3 months, and then we could use the training anywhere we wanted, in our own practice, at a school, etc. If, however, we decided to leave the company before the three months was up, we would have to pay back the company for all the training we had received. This would be fully explained to us in the paperwork that followed as we were brought onboard in the company. I am a professional with many years experience. I am a certified teacher in 3 states, have passed many state tests giving me approval to teach in that state, received many honors and accolades for my work in tutoring, teaching, and handling students. I haven't ever seen a test (critical thinking) this hard before. It was similar to the This test involved sequences of what happened and tests your ability to think logically and analytically. If I had more time and a piece of paper to jot down notes, I probably would have done better. But I don't think this test had anything to do with tutoring children. It was used as a form of selection procedure to weed out candidates, since I'm thinking they must receive hundreds of applicants who apply for jobs. Another part of the screening process was a spelling test. This started out fairly easy but quickly became more difficult. The last five words I had never heard of--in my entire life. The people in the room who took the test with me quickly shared they had never heard of many of the words, either.

There are 2 literacy exams and had a follow-up to meet with the center for a more formal interview asking about experience with education, tutoring, or any kind of childcare.
