The hiring process is very regimented. You go through the county website and it is a SAP application process. You can apply to specific schools and positions through the interface. I had also hand delivered resumes and cover letters a few weeks before the jobs became available. I am a career changer trying to get into the school system (40 years old) and I am finding that it is very tough. I had read about a shortage of math teachers but apparently journalists are not in tune with the school systems. There is a glut of teachers and the positions have to be advertised, but many are spoken for. I also interviewed at a high school here. Be sure you know how to answer questions about handling discipline issues and classroom management in an interview.
