      Substitute Teacher Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chicago, IL
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Chicago Public Schools (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      I arrived and showed my ID to the front desk and they let you know where to go. There is a table for substitute interviews and you have to show your subbing license and sign in. Once you sign in, you go to a large room and wait there until they call you in the lobby for an interview. In the waiting room, there is a Powerpoint that you watch that gives you information about being a substitute. Once your name gets called, you will get a number and then have a one on one interview with a Principal in another room along with other applicants interviewing as well. They will only email you to let you know if you have been accepted or not. If accepted you have a 12 step process to go through to become a sub like background checks and TB tests.

      I interviewed at Chicago Public Schools (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      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.
