Kaplan LSAT Instructor interview questions

First phase was an "audition" using online meeting software and webcams. It included about eight or nine candidates for different Kaplan instructor positions nationally; each in turn made a 7-minute teaching-style presentation (the topics were given in advance) with the other candidates and the interviewer acting as "students." The presentations were to include some interactive elements, i.e. asking questions of the "students." There was an obvious wide variation in the presentation skills of the various candidates. The topics were actual Kaplan teaching topics, and it's worth figuring out in advance (from Kaplan's materials) how to approach teaching them. Second phase, after passing the "audition," was a one-on-one phone/Skype interview with the local hiring manager. It was very pleasant, no hardball questions - it was fairly obvious the hiring decision had already been made based on the audition and other materials, subject to being revisited if something went wrong in the interview. After hiring, there is a lengthy and intensive (multi-week) training phase, which is "evaluative" training, i.e., you are employed (paid minimum wage) during the training but the employment will be terminated if you do not meet standards - so it is actually an extension of the interview process.
