I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Interac (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2016
Interview
After applying online - answering the questions, submitting my resume & cover letter - I got a call fairly quickly from a recruiter. A few more questions later, and I was scheduled for a group interview and sent a packet of materials to practice for my "demo lesson". The interview location was in a city a 6-8 hour drive from me, but I was able to stay with friends. The interview itself had a one-on-one portion plus the group demo lessons where we'd be the "students" for the other interviewees - after that the interviewer held a seminar/discussion going over how we did, how it relates to Interac teaching methods, and how we all could improve. He also answered our own questions candidly - admitted that this job would NOT "make you rich", but was a great way to get your foot in the door in this country - and made the experience positive and informative one.

Interview
The interviewer was very nice and the interview felt more like a conversation than an interview. I thought the questions were fairly straightforward and typical. It lasted about 35 minutes and was more in-depth than the phone interview.

Interview
Applied online, had a fifteen minute phone interview followed by an online language test, with having to submit a short demo video and references, then followed by a Skype interview, which had some general questions about why you wanted to live and work in Japan, where you see yourself in 5 years, followed by a few weird ones such as what you think professional means, how would you react if you were late, after all of these questions they then tell you that they have to submit your application to one of their 5 companies for consideration, at no point in the process up to now was this at all evident that the person you are in contact with is not actually the person doing the hiring and that the 5 companies may not actually have any positions available after jumping through all of these hopes.
