I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fairfax County Public Schools in May 2015
Interview
On May 4, the list of vacancies was posted on the FCPS website. I then researched each school and emailed my resume to the Principals of the ones I was interested in. I was applying from a state 6-7 hours away. 4 of the 5 principals who wanted to interview offered Skype or phone instead of asking me to travel, which was convenient and cost-effective. The position I accepted offered the job the same day after contacting my references. Another school wanted to offer a job, but it went to an in-county transfer. Another was waiting for the position to be vacated and couldn't offer officially. The whole process took 3 weeks and was very smooth. The county/administrators were efficient and helpful. Hopefully HR will be the same!
