To arrange an interview you'll need to complete our online registration. It only takes a few minutes to let us know about you and what you're looking for.

Once we've reviewed your application we'll contact you to schedule an interview if we think we can find you work.

How do I join the interview?

Your interview will be held online to make it easier for you. You can interview from anywhere, as long as you have a device—computer or mobile—with a camera and a strong WiFi signal. We suggest also being in a quiet and private location if possible.

We use a service called appear.in. When the interview is scheduled you'll receive an email confirmation with instructions on joining. You can join:

  • On a computer: simply follow the web address you received in the interview confirmation email.

  • On your phone or tablet: Download the free appear.in app for iOS or Android from the iTunes app store or Google Play store and follow the instructions from your interview confirmation email. 

If you'd prefer to interview in-person at our office or can't interview online please get in touch and we can arrange it.

What happens in your interview

The interview typically lasts 30–45 minutes. Please have your passport handy for an ID check. Plan to answer questions about your teaching experience, lessons you have taught, classroom management strategies, safeguarding children, and your proudest moments. We want to get to know you and your teaching style better so that we can help you find relevant work faster.

Before your interview

Before your interview we'll need a photo of the identity page of your passport and CV so we can verify your identity and ask you relevant questions about your experience. You can upload these during the registration process or email them to teachwithus@zeneducate.com.

Without receiving a photo of the identity page of your passport and CV we may need to reschedule your interview.

To avoid delays we also suggest you take a few minutes immediately before your interview to check your video and microphone are working. You can check your video and microphone settings here.

Once you've registered online and sent on your passport and CV you can choose an interview slot here.
