Interest
I originally heard about VIPKID via Facebook ads. It piqued my interest, especially because I was pregnant. I have always wanted to be a stay at home mom and thought it would be a great opportunity. I applied, but put off the interview until after my baby was a few months old. During that time, I had a few friends start posting about VIPKID and how much they loved it. It was a friend's post confirming that there was no longer a minimum hours requirement that sent me over the edge to interview. And I'm so glad I did!
Application Process
According to this interview with CEO Cindy Mi, only 6-10% of teachers that apply are hired. It's an intense process, but worth giving it a shot if this is something you're interested in.
