Behavioral Presentation
So first you fill out this super long online application. Then you tell them which schools you're interested in. Finally, you go in for a face-to-face interview with the principal. After that, it's really up to the principal if they hire you. It's a lot about who you know, not what you know. Most TAs nowadays are pretty qualified, with at least two years of college or even degrees. Lots of TA jobs are filled by people who used to be teachers or want to be teachers until they can land a teaching gig.

Technical Behavioral
First, you create an account and submit personal info, including your SSN. Then there was a short phone interview. The onsite interview involved a timed demonstration of your abilities. The last interview was in a big classroom where you sat at a long table, and three people asked questions from about 15-20 ft away, making it hard to hear sometimes. I think I should have moved closer. They were nice, but the job wasn't a good fit.

I saw the nursing position on the school's website. Since I couldn't apply online, I printed out the application and turned it in. I then had an interview with three people: what I think was the program director, the nursing supervisor, and the assistant director of schools. It felt pretty comfortable overall.
