Los Angeles USD Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I was initially interviewed and processed through the centralized unit downtown. I actually applied to be a substitute just in case I didn't get hired (turned out to be a smart move for many reasons). I called the hiring unit and got updates on who was hiring. Then I contacted the school directly by calling first and then dropping off my resume. I was called for an interview by my first school choice and hired the same day. This was seven years ago, the climate has changed, but the process remains essentially the same.

Negotiation Details – Ask about the specific the teaching position. I was hired for 9th grade English, then after 1 month, my classes changed and I got 10th grade and one section of a 9th grade intervention class.

Interview Details – once an interview is obtained, the next steps are executed in a standard format similar to corporate functions.

Interview Details – Twelve years ago I submitted a cover letter and resume and copies of my transcripts to the main office downtown in Los Angeles. I had a fifteen minute interview with the director of the adult education program. It was a very low key interview. It seemed more like a formality than anything else. Afterwards, I remember having to fill out a large amount of paperwork.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiating. Instructors pay is fixed.

Interview Details – The interview process was quite long. I had to wait about half an hour before they took me to room for a 90 minute skills test and then I had to wait for almost an hour before I had a half hour interview on a list of questions that I was given to review during the skills test. The interview was done by 2 people and it seemed pretty straight forward. Other than the long wait time, everything seemed kind of Okay.

Interview Details – LAUSD has a centralized interview process. All communication was via e-mail. I was given an interview appointment time. The interview consisted of a written exercise (1 hour allotted) and a panel interview (about 30 min). The great thing about this interview process, was they gave you the questions ahead of time so you could be prepared with your best answers. The writing exercise was to write how you would respond to a work situation. The panel interview was with two central office employees, one was a retired school principal, the other was a central office director - neither of whom has any connection to the hiring department, which I thought was a little strange. They also film your interview (I've never had that happen before). Overall it was fine.

Interview Details – Met with the Principal she was very charming and professional. Questions asked: How do you differentiate instruction? What experience do you have working with students with special needs? What grade level are you most comfortable teaching?

Interview Details – It was a pretty basic one-on-one interview. They wanted to know about your prior experience with kids and what you would do to get them involved with the program. It took about 20 minutes. The atmosphere was very relaxed and everyone was really nice. My advice to others would be to be creative with your answers and to make sure you think about things from a kids' perspective; know what kids like and what you would do to help them enjoy the program.
