I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at English 1 (Shanghai, Shanghai) in May 2015
Interview
First was a word association portion were they ask you a question and you have to respond with one word with not much time to think. I stumbled once out of about 20 questions. Next was a number of what if questions where you had to describe what you would do if so and so occurred. Then was questions about your experience as an English Teacher. Luckily I had experience before going abroad. There was no grammar test for me but I had to do a role play lesson based on some slides from their curriculum. Afterwards its your opportunity to ask questions. By the next day I was offered the job in Shanghai. I turned it down after reading the contract.

Interview
Overall, it was a positive experience. The interview process I had with EF 1 was very detailed and interactive, which I truly appreciated. I enjoyed my interview with English 1 and felt supported throughout.
Told me one thing in the interview and then changed things around once I arrived to the country. Make sure have documented what was actually and hold them to what was actually said so you don't have the wool pulled over your eyes.
I applied online. I interviewed at English 1 (Jakarta) in Mar 2026
Interview
It was a pretty quick interview overall, and the process felt quite straightforward. They asked a few common questions first, then continued with some classroom-related questions afterward. They also mentioned that they are still reviewing quite a lot of candidates at the moment, so I think there are quite a few applicants for the role.
