I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Chicago Public Schools (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2019
Interview
I applied online. The entire process from applying to actually getting hired took roughly about four months. The interview itself was straightforward and very easy. Check in at the front desk where you are sent down the escalator to check in at another desk. There, you are given a number and instructed to go into the waiting area where a PowerPoint is being shown about the hiring process, and other important information. Once your number is called, you step out and go into the next room where the interview will be held. The interview is held in a bigger room in which multiple applicants are being interviewed at the same time. Interview consisted of a few scenario questions (extremely laid back and easy).

Bad, cold, and distant interviewer, she was rude, honestly. Told us it was a professional interview, but the interviewer wasn't even showing herself on Zoom camera, literally just her forehead.

The interview was scheduled a few weeks in advance, but I heard back the next day. Only a quick 15 minute video call, and the interviewer was on time, professional, and friendly.
