2 Panel interviews, 1 virtual, 1 in-person, each was 30-45 minutes. They had a set of questions to ask and gave you 10 minutes to prepare for it. Each interviewer will ask you a question and you will have about 2-3 minutes to answer each question.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Golden West College (Orange, CA) in Sept 2017
Interview
The interviewer was very nice and friendly. It went very smoothly for me. They asked very common questions. They try to make sure that I feel comfortable during the interview.

Question 1
Do you have any experience tutoring and working with students?
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Golden West College (Huntington Beach, CA) in Jul 2016
Interview
I reached out directly to the Dean and Department Chair for an adjunct teaching position at the end of the spring semester. They promised to keep my information on file and they honored this claim by offering me an interview in July. I was invited for an in-person interview which lasted about 45 minutes. The department manager and administrative assistant were polite during the check in and waiting process. I was interviewed by the department chair and a senior faculty member. The questions were fair and in-depth. I really got a good understanding of the culture and values of the institution by the questions they asked. They also inquired about various things on my resume and work experience, which I was happy to elaborate on. It was a lot of fun discussing my ideas on effective teaching. In the end, I had a fairly good sense that they knew who I was and that I knew who they were. I could not wait to start working there. I received word in less than a week that I would be hired and was offered two classes a few days later to start teaching in the fall. Smooth and timely process overall.
