I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Purdue University in Aug 2014
Interview
Not too hard. Do well in the course. Express your interest to the instructor and/or department head. Also, make sure that you have good time management and organization skills since teaching assistantship can steal away from your academics during some part of the semester.
I interviewed at Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN)
Interview
Interviewed for AAE teaching assistance position. Required preparation of a homework problem of choice to discuss teaching for 10 minutes, followed by standard availability questions regarding course load and commitments in following semesters.

Interview
Very laid back, just had a conversation with the professor to go over course basics and material. Began with asking why I am interested in position, go over course material and format, then go to how we can improve the course.
One behavioral interview was conducted in either a group or individually. Standard interview questions, such as strengths, weaknesses, failures, etc. Usually no need to worry about being tested on subject concepts.
