I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Magic Ears (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2018
Interview
Interview consists of a 5 minute Q&A, 8 minute demo class, and 5 minute feedback. I heard back from my interviewer hearing that I passed immediately after my demo. The trainings and trial class both took about a month from my interview to complete. This included the background check which took about a week to hear back from.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you know the time difference between your time zone and BJT?
Simple and straight forward. During the interview you get a task where you have to role play with the interviewer. The interviewer will pretend to be the student and you have to teach the student for a few minutes.

Question 1
Lesson role play and questions about any experience you have teaching ESL.
Easy, laid back. Not too difficult to understand. Come prepared. Once you are prepared and have your props, never drop your smile or use voice drag. You won’t make it.
It was easy for me. I am familiar with online ESL companies from China so it wasn’t difficult to transfer that experience to this company. The interviewer asked about my experience, how many classes I taught and then we went into the demo class. If suggestions are necessary to help you pass she will make them and you would restart the demo. If not you don’t need to finish the demo and they’ll will in a few days send you the contract.
