WestEd interview questions

The second round interview was a very difficult panel interview. At the last minute, they asked me to create a presentation for the interview ... okay, at this point I've already written a free article to get from the phone screen to the panel interview, but that's fine. I show up for the interview, do my presentation, get asked the weirdest interview questions of my life, and then find out -- surprise -- there is an additional task I have to complete involving revising a Powerpoint presentation. And that third task needs to be done in like 15 minutes, like from the time I hung up the Zoom to 15 minutes later. I kid you not. The interview questions they asked were things like "How did you prepare for this interview?" Like, how in the world do you answer that?!? I've taken AP exams that were less involved than this one interview. If you add up the free labor they've gotten from me at this point, it would be an article, a presentation, and a PowerPoint revision (who even uses PowerPoint in 2026, but that is a different question altogether). So all of that, and it's only the second round. Such a shame, too. It seemed like a great company with good benefits and I really wanted the job in theory, but if that is how they conduct their interviews, I can't imagine what it would be like to work for them.
