I applied online. I interviewed at Auburn University (Auburn, AL) in May 2015
Interview
The interview was entirely based on a single phone call. This definitely made it easier in terms of not having to travel. But I did not get the sense that the department was completely invested in people applying for this position. Instructors get a 1-year contract and the department expects that they will often move on.

Question 1
Tell me about Auburn. How much do you know about our university?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Auburn University (Auburn, AL) in Dec 2016
Interview
Two in person interviews. I had previously been working as a graduate student in the department, and I was offered to apply for the position. The interview process was fairly short compared to other interviews I've had, mainly because I was already very familiar with the interviewer.
The second interview was much longer and involved a brief teaching demonstration. Overall it was a fairly easy interview, as I had previous experience in the subject to be taught.
