Hello Guys,
I joined Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?
As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.

It depends, if you are moving positions maybe. It could be something with the district or your state. I have heard of that here in Ohio bet never experienced it. Sending you good vibes! Best of luck, hope you get the job! ✌🍀🤞
Yes, didn't get the job either. I think the interview process is only for show and then contracted teachers move or relatives gain entry. Just what I have experienced. 🤷♀️🤔
In some districts, from what I have heard, it is a norm for them. I have never had to do it so far. I’m not sure I’d want to.
When I was a department chair in public school, I did the interviews with the principal for applicants in to my department. We only had about 30 minutes for any interview. I remember us ever "grilling" someone per se, but we weren't asking throwaway questions either. The context was different too depending on whether we were interviewing someone right out of college or whether it was a veteran teacher.
When I applied to teach at the private school where I currently work, it was a combination grill and marathon. My day went something like this:
Meet with HR
Meet with Head of School
Meet with Head of High School
Meet with 2 Humanities teachers
Attend a school assembly
Teach a 50 minute model lesson to a class.
Meet with Chaplain
Eat lunch with Student Government
Meet with Athletic Director
Check back in with Head of High School.
Check back in with HR and finish for the day.
I got the job but it was an exhausting day. We still use the same marathon format, although it has been shortened in a couple of areas.
I was at an interview once where the interviewing administrator at a school of the arts saw that I had church work (it was a viable and relevant part of my work history for the job I was applying for).
She proceeded to tell me that it was a performance arts school, and that it had a higher percentage of LGBTQ students than most schools, and started to ask me questions about how I would react if I saw PDA from LGBTQ students, and what I thought about LGBTQ issues, and then started asking me the most OBSCURE and DETAILED questions about the subject matter and curriculum in what was CLEARLY an attempt to trip me up and have a nonreligious reason to not recommend I move to the next round.
Needless to say, I wasn't hired, and honestly... given that this was the department head, I feel like I dodged a bullet.
