Interviewed May 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 3 days)
The hiring process is through the individual school and that went wonderfully. The HR process was terrible and was asked to come in to adm offices 3 times unneccessarily. There were also 2 months of delays through the adm offices.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
I was contacted by an assistant principal over the phone. She asked a number of questions regarding my experience and how I would address certain issues at her school such as reducing failing grades, raising college enrollment and how to get more parents involved.
For the 2nd interview, I met with a panel of staff members consisting the principal, an assistant principal, a counselor and a English teacher. They each asked me questions regarding programs I have done and how I would implement new programs at their school.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took a day)
Was told to deliver resume in person to principal. Hiring is done by principals, but candidates need to be approved by HR downtown. Principal was very nice. I was asked to submit a short writing example and discuss previous experience. The people in the office were very nice. The staff handled the students with compassion. I was offered a chance at a job that I was not qualified for, but was not listed in the system as being qualified for the job for which I came in. That was more of an issue with the state and CPS HR though.

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took 2 months)
Fundamentally, I should have known from the interview that I was a bad match. The interviewer, my boss, spent the entire meeting looking at the clock. And the questions he asked showed that he had limited experience supervising professionals. CPS bureaucracy is so convoluted that I had to walk all my paperwork through several offices over several weeks just to secure an offer. And, as it turned out, they never should have advertised the job anyway. I still got it, but left a year later.
