The interview process was quite simple. Initially, I had a general phone interview where we talked about my motivation for teaching. After that, I sent in my resume and my teaching philosophy. About a week later, I was invited to participate in a 4-week course, which was a prerequisite to teaching a trial class. I performed well in the course and then got to teach the trial class, during which another teacher observed me. Roughly two weeks after completing my class, I was notified that I was hired to teach at the University of Phoenix. This all took place back in 2010.

Behavioral Presentation
So after you apply on the web, the first thing is a quick phone chat. If that goes well, you get invited to come in person to do a 10-minute lesson with other candidates, kind of showing off your teaching and creative chops. If you make the cut, you get a mentor and go through a six-week training thing. This course teaches you teaching methods and how to use them both in person and online. The online part is basically where everything happens, like posting rules, the schedule, grades, and making sure students are on track. The last step is you actually teach a real class, with your mentor watching over you.

Behavioral Technical
The interviewer sent over some questions via email that I had to answer first. After I answered those, we had a phone interview. During the call, the interviewer asked me a few questions about general math stuff and why I was interested in becoming an instructor at U of P. Then, it was my turn to ask questions. After that, I got another call a few days later to sort out internet and email stuff.
