Interview
Brief interview then waited four weeks to get hired. I took a box of donuts in and the finished the process the same day. This is in spite of the fact they had an open position waiting for me.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oakland Unified School District (Oakland, CA) in Sept 2024
Interview
I was asked to complete a digital interview, where I recorded responses to a few different prompts. You're given two attempts, so it's not very stressful if you mess up on your first! After that, you're invited to an in-person interview with other candidates where you get to sit with someone from the district and go over your application again. The whole process is fairly quick and simple!
