I sent an application letter with 2 sample essays. They asked me to do a live test to check my work. After a week they said I was hired. I submitted my resume and a copy of my transcript. They did not do a phone interview, but they asked me details of my work via email.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Academia Research in June 2011
