I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at VIPKid (Beijing, Beijing) in Jan 2018
Interview
There are several Online interviews in which you have to teach a sample class. In the first interview I had a very straight-faced interviewer, so I just had to pretend I was teaching a 5 year old. In the second interview, I had a woman who actually pretended to be a 5 year old, so it was much easier.
Got hired as a British speaking then cancelled as not from America which I disclosed at the first interview which I think was silly and unprofessional at the time it was during covid when this happpened.
Very lenghthy interview process, but the interviewers were nice and helpful. There were several steps to the process and it was pretty involved. I had to prepare a lesson beforehand
It was easy an straightforward. 1 interview and 2 mock classes to pass. They offer a contract for a year with option to renew after 1st contract is over. Overall the process last for about 2 weeks from the time you apply unless you are waitlisted.
