I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at McMaster University (Hamilton, ON) in July 2009
Interview
It was an easy interview for the position of a teaching assistant for a first year programming course. I knew the interviewer(course coordinator) from my first year. I applied after I got a mail from university asking undergraduate students to apply for the position. After the interview, they contacted me in 20 days to ask for my schedule so it matched the lab schedule for the course.
