I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Chicago Public Schools (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2021
Interview
Sometimes takes a month or longer to receive an interview, but interview is very easy and 15 minutes max with a retired principal. They send out more interview offers than they have slots for, so sign up quickly because they only interview once a month. They usually use the same questions.

Question 1
Do you know what a lesson plan is?
How would you handle an unruly classroom?

Easy process, friendly interviewer. You get a chance to see the city on a different light. Lots of educators doing their best with the resources they have. I've been all over the city, schools are nice and you get to work with some amazing kids

Bad, cold, and distant interviewer, she was rude, honestly. Told us it was a professional interview, but the interviewer wasn't even showing herself on Zoom camera, literally just her forehead.

The interview was scheduled a few weeks in advance, but I heard back the next day. Only a quick 15 minute video call, and the interviewer was on time, professional, and friendly.
