What are your experiences working with children with special needs?
There wasn't anything out of the ordinary or difficult with the interview questions asked, very to the point about my ability to be successful in the position.
Next came the panel interview on Google Meet. After our initial introduction, I got the eerie feeling that this interview would be more of a gatekeeper's test more than anything. Sometimes it's easy to sense if a company is looking for the best, most qualified talent to fill a position or if they're just looking to make friends. The ladies on the panel I felt were looking for the type of people they would like to invite to the company barbeque. I could sense that my aesthetics just weren't their cup of tea. We went through the motions of the interview in which I discussed all the knowledge and experience my 10 years in the role brings, but in the end, who I am proved to not be what they were looking for. The final nail in my casket came when I was asked why I wanted to work remotely. I told them the truth which was that I have a disability that makes it more convenient to work from home as opposed to in an office. In retrospect, I see now that I was naive to answer that question in such a forthright manner knowing how some employers feel about people with disabilities. I could feel my interview taking a turn for the worst and going downhill from there. I was then offered the opportunity to ask questions, but their responses were short, one sentence answers. My interview was essentially over at that point. No one from Kaplan ever even had the respect or decency to email me back with an answer, even though it's well beyond the position start date. This callosal waste of my time and expectations has me wishing for the day companies like Kaplan will just come right out and say we don't hire crippled people, or your kind just won't fit in with us. If anyone plans on going through the interview process with Kaplan, don't be fooled by their claims of respecting diversity and being an equal opportunity employer, because even when you meet or exceed their qualifications, they are still only looking to employ their type of people, which clearly, I wasn't.
