Application

I interviewed at Gwinnett County Public Schools (Norcross, GA) in July 2013.

Interview

I did not apply through the online employee site. I directly emailed the department chair at the recommendation of another teacher at my student teaching site. I did a phone screen with the department chair. Then I had a sit-down interview with an Assistant Principal and the Principal. Next, I did a sample lesson that was video recorded since I interviewed over the summer. The last step was a quick phone call with the principal at which point I accepted a position. I was able to select my teaching assignment as they had multiple positions open in the department.

Interview

I was a recent graduate and felt like the world was my oyster. That was, until I interviewed at 15 some schools in GCPS. I nailed all of the questions, had great banter, created thoughtful questions about each school that varied and was individualized. I was offered to tour the schools, meet the teachers that currently worked there (had questions and comments ready for every person I met) and got to sit in on classes, depending on the school's schedule.

I would follow up with the standard thank you email and even ask for feedback on my performance. 99% of the schools never replied to me, in regards to my interview, portfolio, etc. I was left having to just accept that they rejected me and never took two minutes to send me a rejection email.
