I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at National Head Start Association in Jan 2012
Interview
The interview was with four other individuals. I don't remember all the titles of the people who were there except the site supervisor and a teaching assistant. Because I have a Bachelor's in child development, I felt that the interview itself was quite easy. It might be difficult for someone who doesn't have a background in child development. Everyone who was part of the interview process was incredibly friendly and they seemed very easy to work with.
