I applied in-person. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at Houston ISD (Houston, TX) in Jun 2011
Interview
It took 3 months to get interviewed by HR and a few days later I was interviewed by principal and another 2 months before the first orientation was held at the school.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Houston ISD
Interview
The interview was short. I was a solid candidate, so interviewer was fair with interview questions. The interviewer can be anyone from the potential school, and they are usually a full time teacher. You must getting finger printed and pass a background check to get hired. The process does take two or three weeks once all paper work has been completed.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Houston ISD (Houston, TX) in Sep 2012
Interview
It was very Informal with 3 of the campus principals. We sat on small chairs in the library. They seemed desperate to fill the job.... I was equally desperate to leave my FT job at Key MS with Ms. Moore as a horrible principal and rowdy students and get something, anything less stressful.
