EPIK interview info

I completed my EPIK interview an hour ago.  I was nervous, anxious. The interview went okay, not spectacular. Some of it had fluid responses, some not so much.  The interview lasted 25-30 minutes and was purely audio, no video.

I was asked several questions, being warned prior that some may be personal and that's they way it just is:

1) What is your teaching philosophy?
2) Why did you choose South Korea over other Asian countries?
3) If you noticed your co-teacher making a mistake in English, how would you handle it?
4) How would you handle a student who is disruptive in class?
5) What makes you stand out compared to the other thousands of teachers applying with EPIK?
5a) How would you handle students learning at different levels?

6) Have you ever done drugs?
7) Do you have any disabilities that would prevent you from doing your job?
8) Have you ever had any counseling?
9) Have you traveled at all?

That's all I can think of at the moment.  I should hear from my recruiter within 2-3 days whether I have been accepted into EPIK or not.  Of course I will continue applying with hagwons as I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket.
