I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Success Academy Charter Schools (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview day was conducted in a group setting. Several other teachers were there applying for jobs in different disciplines. We sat and listened to a presentation about classroom management, transitioned to another room to perform class management examples with other interviewees, and then did a written class-management essay followed by a one-on-one interview.
I was very surprised receiving an official offer about 3-4 days later because I never officially taught a class in my discipline. I am well-versed in class management tools so that was not difficult during the interview process. However, I was taken in an uncomfortable way that others might have been hired too that did not demonstrate proficiency in their discipline.

I interviewed at Success Academy Charter Schools (New York, NY)
Interview
It was a horrible interview. They asked about how my parents disciplined me as a child and focussed on how comfortable I am with disciplining and punishing kids. It was really just an uncomfortable experience and I did not get a good vibe or positive insight into the organization.

Very lengthy group interview. Prepare to be there for 6 hours or more. The first set of interviews is in a group. Once they are interested in you, you will select a location they will send you to that specific location for an interview to meet the principal and staff.
