3,608 program coordinator interview questions shared by candidates

During the interview, I had to put together 2 instructor pay amounts based on their laborious system. They make you sit down and open up several Excel files, Word Files, Google and then put together the individual instructor pay for a month., looking at individual contracts, calculate mileage, pay is based on several different parameters, hourly pay amounts change per each school, per instructor, per amount of students, etc etc. I believe they are using a very inefficient way of paying instructors that can leave lots of room for making errors. After trying to figure all that out, then they come back and show you on paper what you got wrong. They also pay mileage to contracted employees, which instructors should be doing this themselves, and could lead to problems with the IRS with Employee vs. Contractors pay issues. I have worked as contractor with several companies, mileage is my own responsibility that I write off as a contractor.

Most questions asked throughout were fairly standard interview questions but I particularly liked this behavioral question posed in the group interview about prioritization - "If given these following three tasks on a busy day, how would you prioritize them - 1) Respond to another sales rep about a request from a smaller client (academic) 2) Respond to a sales rep about a request from a larger client (pharma) 3) Prepare a presentation for the manager"
