      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at 51Talk in Oct 2024

      Interview

      It's up to you to reschedule or push through. The interview process is just a quick "tell me about yourself" portion. With questions running from "What computer are you using?". Or "Do you have a stable internet?", "When do you think you will start?". Just answer the questions as best as you can and look confident enough. Dress yourself in a formal or semi-formal attire when doing the interview (even if you have shorts on). PRE-SERVICE ORIENTATION After passing the interview, make sure to give the HR person an exact date that you will be available for the PSO ( pre-service orientation ). This pre-service orientation will be around 2-3 hours of group Skype call with someone from HR as well. It will cover mostly about company infos, including work schedules and rates. The rate for beginner teachers is 50 pesos per student, and one student session is 25 minutes. TRAINING Well, after the orientation, you will be scheduled for training. This training is tricky since it will determine if its the end of the road (back to square one). So listen carefully since it is important that you know what steps or what process needs to be done during the class. You will be introduced to tools that you're going to use, and the things that you need to do before class to prepare your computer for the lessons ahead. The training takes around 2 hours or more usually held in the morning. DEMO CLASS After training, you will be scheduled for a class demo. This will take around 15 minutes. You're a trainer or someone else will pretend to be a Chinese kid while you pretend to teach them using a demo lesson. Just give them the basic "Oh, you're good," etc. And make sure you sound friendly. Use all methods like "How many dogs do you see on the picture?" to keep the conversation going. Do not worry, the demo lesson does have "answer keys" and you will be rehearsed on training on what to do during the demo. Easy? Well no. Since if you fail, then you will need to start over again from scratch. Passing the demo gives you assurance that you are hired. WELCOME CALL After passing the demo, you will be scheduled for a "welcome call" by one of your mentors. Again this will cover most of the tools used in the actual class. You will also be introduced to proper escalation guidelines or how to call for support. This lasts around 2-3 hours so be patient. You need to internalize all these because it will cause confusion on your part later, so better pay attention. lAUNCHING Once everything is done and you have submitted the requirements asked from you after being hired, then you will just need to plot the time that you will be available on their "shift" page. Feel free to plot what time you want to teach but be careful since you will not receive a text message every time a student you books for class. So better refresh your page from time to time or have your cellphones ready to check the web. Launching you as a new teacher becomes official after receiving a text that you are officially launched as one.
