Very lengthy. A long application, followed by (for some people) a phone interview, then a requirement to complete a number of other steps, like finding three recommenders, submitting a ton of paperwork, etc. I was really disappointed by my final interview - everything went decently well until the one-on-one interview. I didn't feel my interviewer liked me at all, and I felt that it was for virtually no reason. She hardly smiled and pegged me with question after question - I had little to no space to breathe or contemplate answers. She furiously typed the entire time I spoke, which made the whole thing feel very cold and impersonal. After the interview was over she was curt and unencouraging, which just made me all the more confident that I wouldn't be offered a position. I did feel that I screwed up my 5-minute teaching lesson, but beyond that, I felt that I was a very strong candidate for a position. Plus, we were told that the whole process is incredibly holistic and that we "didn't need to worry" about the 5-minute lesson. Well, I'd have really appreciated some more feedback about what exactly made me unfit for a position, because I hardly feel my performance during the 5-minute sample teach indicates my readiness to serve children. Funnily enough, I have experience on my resume that involves working with children, and even children from low-income or disadvantaged homes, yet I wasn't asked about this experience in any way. Rather, very minute, specific deails about one particular experience I had were zoned in on to the point of exhaustion. Really don't understand the process, and wish every candidate was treated with equal optimism, respect, and courtesy.
