I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Noble Schools (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2009
Interview
Interviewed with department head about previous work experience. The interview was pleasant as we had similar experiences and knew people in common. The success of this interview lead to a second interview with the principal of the school.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A question by the principal (who is approximately 10 years my junior) as to whether I could work for someone considerably younger than myself.
Call with a recruiter, call with principals of hiring campuses (which is pretty much all of them), demo, then tour building(s), and get an offer. Everything was straight forward and pretty easy-going. They are pretty desperate for teachers so I don't think they want it to be too challenging.

Question 1
When was a time you had a difficult interaction with a student/how did you handle it
Two rounds of interviews. First one is swift and they connect you to schools within their network. Second interview is with the school where they ask you about your teaching.
The process was very straightforward. There was an online application that had some essay questions and you need three references. The next step is phone interviews. The principals were very professional and kind.
