I applied for the San Leandro Seneca site online through Indeed. The site called me and after conducting a phone screening they offered to set up an interview. The interview was an interactive interview where I met with 3 employees as they asked several interview questions. I also joined all of the classrooms for 30 minutes each and had an opportunity to interact with the kids and ask questions with the staff. The San Leandro site was so kind to refer me to an Elementary site because I mentioned that I prefer to work with elementary age kids. Later in the same week I had a similar interactive interview at an elementary site in Oakland. The next day I received a call from HR requesting my references and by the following week, I received an offer to work at the elementary site. Everything is very easy going if you have a positive vibe about yourself, others and working with kids.

First received a phone call from the principal, very friendly, gave me an overall introduction to the school and their values/mission. Then I got invited to the school itself for the second interview. 1 hour was interactive, you get to talk to staff, teachers, and students. I must mention though there is no direction or instructions for the interactive portion so come ready with questions and curiosity to participate. Then the other hour was an interview where they ask you questions and then you get to ask them questions.

I applied online and got a screening phone call one day later. We scheduled a group interview for next week with 5 other candidates for similar positions. After I got a call for an interactive interview at my specific site.
