I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kumon (New Brunswick, NJ) in Jan 2014
Interview
No interview. Just called and got the job. The interview was nonexistent. It was flim flam. Fugazi. The interview was as real as something that isn't real, namely a unicorn or dragon or some other such fictional creature of fiction, legend and myth. Reminds me of the Hero's journey, to be honest. The atonement with the father was more real than this interview (because the interview didn't happen)
Interview went pretty smoothly , asked about previous experience and didn't do any math or English test. Faces lit up when I mentioned I had done kumon in the past
Quick questions from manager, not too difficult. Included questions on experience, willingness to learn and train (brief). Also asked how many hours willing to work. Interviewer was nice and patient.
The boss and assistant managers interviewed me about my educational experience, tutoring experience, and why I wanted the position primarily. It was professional but still there was room for more open-ended conversation on both ends during the interview.
