A few conversations with professors followed by revision of perfomance in prior classes of related study / area. A majority of this process was demonstration of interest in teaching and having had a good track record in said department.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Stanford University in Dec 2020
Interview
Straightforward based on past class experience and working with the professor to submit good quality information. Took a class that was very helpful and then decided to apply for TAship based on my interest. The professor discussed the role and responsibilities and asked questions about focus areas.
I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Stanford University (Stanford, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
This was a simple interview. I spoke with the professor of the course about my coursework, background technical and teaching experience in person. I will offered the position soon after.
