I applied online. I interviewed at Rasmussen University
Interview
I had one phone interview that took approximately 45 minutes. It was conducted by another faculty member. It was very conversational in nature and low stress. The interviewer asked me about my work experience in the field I was applying for. She explained how online courses work and the hiring process. She was flexible with scheduling my interview, as I was traveling during the time she wanted to schedule.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rasmussen University (Tampa, FL) in Jul 2010
Interview
A long hiring process that literally consisted of at least 5 interviews. There is a lot of vetting. The process took over 2 months to complete, with several phone and in-person interviews, with often silence in between. It was a bit nerve wracking, but I kept getting the call back, so that isn't a bad thing overall.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They look for a lot of personality driven earmarks of an instructor. You must be credentialed, experienced, and have a passion for teaching. The overall process is difficult, as you have to impress a lot of people along the way. It's not that they are being rough, you just know that you are one of many interviewing for the same role, they are extremely thorough in the questioning, and the final answer is a group vote, so not just one person can be impressed, but everyone.
