From what I remember it was smooth and to the point. They just don't prepare you for what's really ahead and it's a lot. Once you’re actually in it, the expectations, workload, and challenges feel much more intense than what was explained beforehand.

Ai web interview, invite sent less than 24 hours after application. Then a follow-up on Zoom with an HR person a week or so later. No particular connection there, they didn't seem to particularly appreciate my application. Then a few weeks later I got a call out of the blue from the department head asking if I was still interested. Had a second interview with senior leadership of the school, followed by an offer with salary above what I'd asked for a day later. Detailed, thoughtful questions from all concerned. I declined the job because I am fundamentally opposed to charter schools and I didn't want to spend what should be prepped periods, supervising recess and doing other tasks. They are making teachers do to save money on admin staff, but in many respects it's an impressive organization. Excellent facilities.
