I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at The Johns Hopkins University
Interview
I applied online. And my previous adviser recommended me to my current adviser. After I passed the screen of the university (they will check GPA, Tofel, GRE, etc.), I got one phone call interview since I am an international student. Then I got the offer.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD) in Jun 2015
Interview
Students are asked to provide transcript to prove academic excellence, and then you are asked to fill in a question sheet to answer several behavior questions, including your course preference, your past teaching experience, your favoriate professor to work with etc.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD) in Sep 2015
Interview
It was multi-staged. First with HR department; then with the local department looking to employ a candidate. HR interview was more general and broad: tell me about yourself stuff; while local department was more specific to the advertised position and very very thorough. You need to know the meat and onions of how to do the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
