I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arizona State University (Phoenix, AZ) in Aug 2018
Interview
Simple and course-based and very clear if you have read the job description. Also, HR, as well as the professor, were nice. After the hiring process, HR staff kept responsive and was quite patient. That was a pleasant experience having my first TA job.
Interviewed as a TA. It was a quick meeting with a professor. I had to demonstrate my skill related to the field and I had to demonstrate my teaching skill.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Arizona State University
Interview
Call from professor asking about my experience in the field and how confident I am to answer students questions and help them in labs. Not too hard, good course and good professor, and good university.
It is easier to get through if you make an acquaintance with the professor teaching a particular course of interest. The professor can recommend you to the hiring department and make the process much more simple. I did not have an HR interview as a result but just interaction with the professor
