[quote=Anonymous]I was called for an interview at a national tutoring chain. I was told it would be a group interview, and that I should prepare an "icebreaker game" for 6-12 people. When I arrived, the interviewer seemed dismissive and rude. She also seemed very young for a manager (I was about 30). It was like being interviewed by an angry teen.

We sat in a big classroom. She told me that no other candidates were coming, and asked me to present my game.  :shock:  I explained that it wasn't designed for 2 people, but that we'd give it a good try. I explained the game and tried to start it, while she sat there and stared at me. She said something about bad my game was! I said (politely) that it had proven quite fun on many occasions-- when there were, say, 6-12 people to play it.

She gave me an eyeroll and told me they'd be in touch. I never heard from them after that (thank goodness!).

FWIW, I already was an experienced, well-reviewed tutor and classroom teacher at that point. I'm pretty sure her contempt was unearned.  :wink: [/quote]
