Applied through their website - took about 20 min. Applicants for the Instructor position have to have had at least a 90 percentile score on the test they plan on teaching. Received an email about a few days later asking me for an interview. The interview lasted about 45 minutes and covered topics like - Why Kaplan, have you taught before, what would you do if some students were not getting the material, etc. A lot of the interviews and interaction takes place over Skype. Employment offer is tentative and only finalized after the successful completion of their training program. That program consists of "teachback" sessions - anywhere between 5 and 8 of them, for which candidates are reimbursed. Prep for the sessions is reimbursed, however, at a much lower rate - about $8/hr. Teachback sessions are compensated at the actual rate for teaching - in my case $30/hour. There are also 2 observation sessions that must be completed before one starts work.
