Interview
HR Interview:
This was more about your personality, motivation, and suitability for the university culture.
You were asked about your career goals, such as why you wanted to be a Teaching Assistant and your backup career plan (you mentioned Backend Development).
They also checked how you would handle challenges (e.g., managing a disruptive student).
You were asked about your current work situation, and you mentioned freelancing and working on a project for a Saudi company.

Interview
After application, I was asked to prepare a presentation on any subject within the field to present. Ended up waiting for almost 50 minutes after my scheduled time. That part went fine with questions like why I want to join academia, who were my professors in university, etc. Then comes an English assessment, where I talked on a Zoom meeting a few days later with an English professor. Then I went for an HR meeting, with the normal questions of how to deal with a problem from a student, how to make them listen, most stressful situation and expected salary.
The issue comes when we move to the Masters, where despite typically having a 5-year duration, they require you to register on the first semester or else you leave the job position. The salary is little (min salary) when you compare to the amount of work needed.
