Behavioral Presentation
I found the job on an online list. I filled out an online application answering teaching-related questions. Then, I had an interview scheduled within a week with a panel of educators, including the assistant principal and department chairperson. After the interview, they said they'd let me know the outcome within seven days, but they didn't contact me for three weeks, and only after I reached out.

It was a really fast and smooth process. Everyone I talked to was really knowledgeable. The interview was over the phone, and I found out where I stood right after the call. They did it over the phone to make it easier, and it took about 30 minutes. Mesa's application process is pretty involved though, with essays and everything. A common question they ask is about your teaching philosophy, which is something every teacher should have ready.

The interview process was straightforward, involving a conversation with the hiring liaison for the role. Depending on your educational background, you might be required to complete a ParaPro assessment, especially if you don't hold an associate's degree. If you need to take the ParaPro assessment and haven't been in school recently, ensure you study for it.
