Behavioral Technical

The interview process was pretty standard, with basic questions about teaching methods and how to manage a classroom. It was similar to other interviews I've done. They made an offer on the spot, and I accepted soon after. Just be confident and charismatic, and you'll do fine!

Behavioral Group

The interview process was straightforward, consisting of a single round. It involved a panel of paraprofessionals, teachers, and the assistant principal. They asked questions about my academic and professional background. After the interview, the school administration would be in touch. Receiving a letter from HR meant I wasn't selected. Initially, I was rejected, but because the first candidate didn't show up, they called me back with a start date. While I was a bit disappointed with how it went down, I was happy to get the job.
