You have to create a demo lesson for two phonemes, then a introduction video about yourself, have a group interview and then record a demo lesson using their platform. It is a long process but fairly basic to the industry.

After I sent in my resume, CV, work eligibility proof, a photo, and a passport page copy (if needed for Foreign Teacher), someone emailed me. We then had a Skype chat. Next, I had to send in my Diploma and TESOL Cert and get a background check. They gave me a 'mock class' to prepare. I was told to let them know when I was ready. The 'Mock Trial' was set up. The interviewer was nice and paid attention. I did the mock class. The interviewer let me know they weren't the final decider and they'd contact me if I moved forward. I got the job! Then I had some training, coaching, and practice class to do.
