It was pretty straightforward. Had one interview, could be in-person, phone, or video, with about 2-3 principals or vice-principals. They asked about my skills, experience, and how I'd tackle the job. Also got to ask them stuff about the school and the role.

The ladies who interviewed me were retired principals. They were very nice, and didn't mind the fact that I was very young applying to the job (wasn't made to feel stupid). Software used is sketchy and difficult to use; why can't they just use Zoom or Google Meets?
