I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at ALC Education (Tokyo) in Mar 2019
Interview
I found the job ad on a job hunting website. I sent them a cover letter with a resume attached. They contacted me about two days later to set up a phone interview. At the end of the phone interview, they offered me a second interview with a demo lesson.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
At the phone interview, they first asked several general questions to confirm the information on my resume, e.g., my prior teaching experience. Then I was asked a very general question about error correction. Finally, the interviewer asked if I was familiar with the PPP teaching procedure. At the end of the call, they offered me an in-person interview, which would have included a demo lesson had I accepted.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ALC Education
Interview
The hiring process started with a phone interview for basic qualifications and job description. This included discussion about the need to move and the possibility of a quick start, if the job was offered.
Then it was followed up by a face to face interview for job experience, understanding and lesson role play. The interviewer asked about my experience with adults, business English, and my abilities with intensive courses. The lesson was a sho demo with preparation time.
Then there was a follow up interview for general disposition and company match with a senior manager. This was to check my attitude towards teaching, my general willingness to engage in constructive review, etc.
