I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Baltimore County Public Schools
The interview wasn't bad. It was an initial screening interview to get into the county in order for you to then apply to individual schools. It was about 10 questions to answer. All of the questions were provided in front of me to read over or refer to. Generic questions about how I'd teach, manage students, make connections. Interviewed with a principal from the county at a university job fair. Process was quick, interview was about 20 minutes in totality, then I could continue to interview with principals once the screening interview ended.
