I was registered already as a College Student Aide for the Long Beach USD, which consists of presenting a TB test and x-rays. Then when you're approved, you're given a list of job sites to apply or in some rare cases, job sites contact you. On my first job site, I got an interview with a supervisor who was more interested in my availability. I got the job on the spot. When my program lost funding, I lost that job site and after a few months, a job site contacted me. I got a group interview instead (teachers and students from a special education program). Everyone was nice and I answered all their questions. They told me I'll probably have to wait a week for the next response, but a few hours later, I got a call and said I was hired. If you fit the college aide requirements, and you have the availability, then you're a shoe in.
