The process took almost three months. First, you answer questions about pedagogy. Next, you wait 2-3 weeks for a response. You get a response and send in a sample lesson. Then you wait another 2-3 weeks. You make your first interview appointment. You interview. Then you have to book another interview, which will be at least a week out. You book the interview and no real questions are asked. The interviewer tells you how the company works, explains the pay structure, explains how you will train and how long it should take. He tells you you'll get an e-mail with the next steps in a few days. A week later, you get a form rejection letter with no explanation as to why you were rejected, since the person who interviewed you kept saying you were what they were looking for.
It was the most time-consuming, misleading, and overly drawn-out interview process I've been through in a decade of working in the ESL industry.
I rated this interview as average because it was average from an industry standpoint. There was nothing unexpected about it. However, the outcome was completely unexpected and the lack of reason was almost offensive, considering the attitude during the second interview.

Submitted an application with a lesson plan based on their teaching methodology. 2 rounds of interviews and a lesson plans to create. Very strict on the lessons planning and methodology.

Question 1
The usual questions about ESL teaching but they like you to be able to strongly identify with the students and have more than 1 language and have a degree which is odd because they pay is low.

I applied online. They screened my resume and invited me to submit a lesson plan a few weeks later. I suppose I passed the second part, because I was offered an interview a week later. But here is when it became fun.
I had to go to their schedule and choose an interview time. The WEEK I was supposed to interview there were two openings. 1am and 5am my time on Wednesday. I have classes at 8am Thursday. 40 freshmen. I need to be on my A game for them. So I email them asking what can be done about this scheduling issue. If I could just schedule an interview online. They write back that they will open up more slots. Then next WEEK there are a total of four new slots open. Midnight an 5am Monday and Wednesday. Brilliant.
Now I could get up early and interview, but lets be honest, you want to put your best foot forward in an interview, which few of us can do at 5am. Besides, virtually every other online teaching company uses skype and schedules interviews over 12-16 hour blocks. I think it says something about them that they offer so few options for interviewing potential staff. I've always felt that the interview process is a two way street, and this has not left an amazing impression to say the least.
I'll add that I submitted my resume seven weeks ago, and have only now given up chasing them. It is a long process. They may be a wonderful company to work for, but this process is a challenge for anyone not located in the Americas, and with so many other companies that are looking for credentialed teachers, it seems silly to waste so much time with a company that makes it difficult.
They seem to want to be an exclusive company, hiring only top, qualified teachers. But they have mistaken exclusive with elusive.
