It took for ever!!! So if you do decide to continue realize that you will wait at least 3 months! Calling won't help! Just make sure you have everything you need (high school diploma, immunization card that's up to date, and a current resume).

Applied online and then I got called for an interview. I went to a school where they were doing the interviews in the cafeteria. I had to fill out a form, and then I was interviewed. He asked me 5 questions and I was hired right then and there. It was very simple. Make sure you have some experience working with kids and have activities you can plan for them.

I sent in my resume. HR called me about three weeks later for a prescreening and mentioned they'd contact me when openings became available. About a month after that, I got another call inviting me to an interview. I attended the interview and was offered the job on the spot.

The process takes a lot of time, but it is worthwhile. There are lots of checks and balances and everyone is very friendly and wants to be helpful. Be sure to have all documentation ready and all names match.
