I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Columbia College Chicago (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2010
Interview
I was initially scouted by a full time faculty member. I was hired on his recommendation only. After one semester all adjunct faculty go through an evaluation process. This involves a review of syllabus and all course materials. It also includes an in class observation by a full time faculty member. Finally there is a meeting with the chair of the department.
