I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NYU (New York University) (New York, NY) in Sep 2014
Interview
The interview process was very quick, informal, and painless. Met with the supervisor and expressed interest in a TA position. Brought in paperwork at the end of that week and was hired.
