Interviewed Oct 2011 in Bethesda, MD (took 1+ week)
A friend working at PrepMatters suggested I apply to be tutor there. I emailed the address she gave me and received a response after two days, which I thought was pretty prompt. After some back-and-forth regarding scheduling I was able to come in. The office was a beautiful ensemble, decorated stylishly, and the employees seemed friendly and dedicated.
My interview consisted of questions about my teaching experience and style. The interviewer seemed very friendly. She asked about how I would handle different types of students or different situations. After about half an hour of this, I took a sample SAT, consisting of one section each of reading, writing, and math.
This was on a Friday, and my interviewer promised I'd hear back by Monday, and that she'd schedule for me to do some sample teaching. On Wednesday my friend reassured me that yes, they were incredibly disorganized on the hiring, but I'd hear back from them. My email on Friday went unanswered, as did my call the next Monday. It felt incredibly rude and off-putting not to receive a response - even a polite "thanks, but no thanks" - when it had been explicitly promised.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Washington, DC (took 4+ weeks)
Found job opening through craigslist posting -- interview process consisted of initial phone interview, followed by 1:1 followup interview, SAT-test equivalent, and prepared 5-minute teaching sample. Spoke with hiring supervisor for initial inteviews, met with and taught sample lesson to company owner for final approval. Company stresses search for positive, knowledgeable student-focused tutors who are flexible with scheduling, and willing to accept additional hours during cyclical high-need periods.
