It was a pretty chill process. First, I sent in a cover letter and a letter of intent where I talked about my background and what I'm qualified for. Then, I had an in-person chat with the course instructor. It was just me and them, and they asked me why I wanted the job, what I'm good and not so good at, and about my communication skills.
