I applied in-person. I interviewed at Chicago Public Schools (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2009
Interview
You need to take a lot of tests, and fill out a lot of paperwork. There really isn't the amount of work there used to be on the north side of Chicago. The office personnel are very professional, and help you if you don't understand something.

Question 1
What do you do if the teacher left no lesson plans, and you have puzzles, but need copies, but they only allow regular teachers to make copies?

Bad, cold, and distant interviewer, she was rude, honestly. Told us it was a professional interview, but the interviewer wasn't even showing herself on Zoom camera, literally just her forehead.

The interview was scheduled a few weeks in advance, but I heard back the next day. Only a quick 15 minute video call, and the interviewer was on time, professional, and friendly.
