The first step was a video interview where I had to record answers to about 5 or 6 questions. Then, a few days later, they emailed me to set up a formal online panel interview. The questions were pretty standard for a teaching job. It's been over a month with no word back, but I did get an offer for a different teaching position at another school. When I replied to ask a question about that, the HR email blocked me.

The interview process with K12 was good. It was conducted in a Blackboard Connect classroom and was thorough. After interviewing with principals, I was handed off to the HR system. Principals can't discuss personnel matters like pay, hours, or benefits. Once HR got involved, I felt like just a number. My offer came over the phone with no details; I had to ask about the pay. It took HR about 3 weeks to approve the principals' hiring decision, which forced me to resign from my previous school only two weeks before school started. It was a tough choice because I liked my old school and felt bad leaving them so late.

I applied online and then got an email from the middle school principal asking me to complete the initial interview questions and return within 2 days. The questions were typical: why K12, why virtual teaching, managing time tools and systems, technology background, and strengths. After I returned my answers, I got email asking for a phone interview for a couple of days later. The principal called me and was very sweet. She had a great personality, was super positive, and was extremely open during the interview. She told me all about the company and hired me on the spot. It was one of the best interviews I have ever had.
