I never had to interview for the ten-year job I started as a temporary part-timer, luckily, because I had no background in my subject and probably would have said Far Too Much.
The hardest interview I had to conduct was the one for a category change to Faculty Leader four or five years ago, which involved an elaborate essay and being interviewed by all the division heads, the dean of faculty, the assistant head, and another Faculty Leader; I didn't want to be a Faculty Leader in the first place, and my division head was making me apply, plus I knew I was already a goddamnit lower-case faculty leader and liked my low profile just fine. I rewarded my division head for his efforts by changing divisions immediately afterwards.
I interviewed, and taught a demonstration lesson, with much anxiety, for my present job in the middle school, but I have recently found out I was actually the only candidate. Go figure.
