I applied online. I interviewed at EF (Education First) (Jakarta) in July 2017
Interview
I have applied for both EF and a Franchise of EF in Indonesia. Basically if you apply for the position in Jakarta, you are going to get an interview as long as you have a TEFL and a degree.
It wasn't stressful and very easy going.
The interview was okay, The lady was really nice. But unfortunately I did not get an offer. The interview took about 20 minutes. She wanted to know about my experience and teaching philosophy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the challenges you faced when teaching young students
The ESL interview typically is Online with Academic Director. Easy straightforward questions. No teaching demo. Situational questions to assess classroom management skills, adaptability, and cultural awareness. Even if you don't have teaching experience, there is a high chance to land ESL job there.
I interviewed at EF (Education First) (Shanghai, Shanghai)
Interview
Easiest interview I've had, they talked more as if I already had the job. Asking questions like where in china did I want to be. Don't stress, just be relaxed and talk about why you want to teach and why you want to live in china.
