The interview portal didn't work. I emailed and my resume was sent to the High School careers dept, not MS as I asked. When I was rejected from HS job (no experience) I was told I could not apply for MS, despite that being my original intention.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Uncommon Schools (Newark, NJ) in May 2023
Interview
I had one of the worst interview experiences at this school. I found the rude and too self-interested, I taught a demo lesson, received her feedback, and was asked to make changes and re-teach the lesson. This was after she asked a lot of condescending questions. Needless today say, I did not stay for part 2.
