A few months after applying for an adjunct pool, I got an email to set up an interview for three weeks later. There was a (zoom) panel of 4 instructors from different departments. It was a very simple 5 question interview with basic questions about strengths/weaknesses and teaching experience. The interview itself was straightforward, but afterward it was very difficult to get any basic information about 1) whether or not I had actually been hired/added to the pool, and 2) how to get assigned classes to teach.

Question 1
Which specific college classes have you taught, and for how many semesters?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ACC in Mar 2021
Interview
I applied and it took roughly 2-3 weeks to schedule the interview. It was an online panel of about 4 people from the department via Zoom. Make sure to apply before the deadlines, they hire for the next year in January.

Question 1
They asked pretty standard questions like greatest strength, weakness, what's my greatest teaching triumph, when have I had a struggling student, hardest teaching moment and what I learned, and how I deal with behaviors in the classroom.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ACC
Interview
The interview was with the department head. It involved a series of questions to determine if you're suited for higher-education teaching. They want to know if you had any experience teaching in a classroom setting, describe your teaching approach, strengths and weaknesses, how would you handle different situations in the classroom. After the interview, I had to keep contacting the department head in order to actually get the job.
