Nothing to do with interviewing for a teaching role, which requires a lengthy interviewing process itself. Heck you have to pass psychological personality tests first, which are hours long. You aren’t even getting into first interview if you can’t pass psychologist test with a decent score. And in my specific role I need to know various (not just education related) state and federal laws and procedures and eligibility for every possible situation including change in procedures and every situation that I could possibly encounter.

I just think I either know it and can figure it out if I don’t know it, or I am going to flunk because I just don’t know enough. No one has 6 hours to study for anything. Especially if one has a job and looking for another. There are no extra 6 hours in a day.

I assumed (obviously incorrectly) that if you had something in a resume you should be able to answer it without having to study. Like what methods you used or how you increased traffic. I believe if it’s in my resume, I know it. If I don’t know it, I take it out of a resume. I understand you have a different approach and if it is working out, it’s all good.

But I get it. If you have to study, you study. It just seems kind of strange. I have family in all possible fields, including very technical. No one studies for hours for the first interview, especially if stuff is already in your resume. You either know or if you don’t. I understand studying about each company you are applying to, which could take maybe an hour of researching. But if it works for you then good luck
I have a bad memory. My field is VAST.

I don't want to defend myself any longer. Please stop asking me to defend my position in life. It makes me feel inept when you tell me no one you know studies for hours.
