The application process was very extensive and took about 2 months, including the final interview. They required an essay stating why you were interested and completion of an online activity that discussed educational inequality articles. The phone interview was comfortable and took around 30 minutes. The final interview included teaching a 5 minute lesson, a group activity, and then a one on one interview. The one on one interview was very comfortable and discussed, in detail, information from your application and some related experiences.

Interview
The interview process is long and involved. Overall, there is nothing that is too difficult. The first part is a very simple online application, which involves submitting a resume and letter of intent. After that, there is a phone interview and you are required to fill out additional online forms. Next, there is a full day interview where you teach a sample lesson, discuss a topic in a group, and then have a one on one interview.
