I dropped off my resume and cover letter in person. That same day, I interviewed with the Director and Assistant Director of the JCC. They gave me a quick tour of the school and the classroom I would be working in, I played with the kids, met the co-teacher, and they hired me right then and there. There was a lot of paperwork to start working there. Background checks, fingerprints, and possibly a drug test were all required for working with young children. It was a really good interview and hiring process overall.
