Hi all,

It's been a pleasure learning more about VA and you certainly have a very nice state. So what is the "real deal" with these screening interviews? We don't do them where I'm from. It seems like a decent number of these districts in VA and MD just sorta offer the opportunity to go to a screening interview to anybody who calls and talks. Are they just superficial things that every applicant gets, or does it really mean a place at least has an initial level of interest in you? Do they carry any weight or it really just an extension of submitting the paperwork? Here you just submit you resume/documents for a specific vacancyh, they interview 3-10 people or whatever they want, and that's that. Obviously a screening interview doesn't mean you make any sort of select list, but I'm just curious how much (or how little) they mean.

I believe that if you "pass" that part, you then would be eligible for interviews with principals. I would take any interview you get very seriously. You never know where it will lead you! Good Luck!

Chris Thanks--that's basically what I was trying to figure out..if it's a "pass/fail" type thing.
