It was a pretty simple process. First, I had an interview where they asked me some questions about my experience and my knowledge of grammar. Then, on a different day and at a different place, I had to do a demo lesson. I had about 15 minutes on site to prepare for it.

I sent my resume to the branch director. After a phone call with her, she sent my information to HR. I then met with the HR manager, filled out an application, and reviewed my resume. She made copies of my credentials and I observed teachers for a few hours. After that, I came back a second time to accept the offer. Everyone was very friendly.

So, first I talked to Anna, the employment manager. She asked me some basic questions about ESL and why I wanted the job. After that, if they thought I was a good fit, they sent me to a school to teach a 10-minute sample class. Then I had to watch other teachers for 5 hours total, even though I'd taught before.

They were in urgent need and basically hired me on the spot, like I was doing them a favor. They briefly asked about my teaching experience. The rest was just them explaining their rules and me signing documents.
