Hey Leather Couch,
Thank you for your interest in teaching with Veritas Prep! And congratulations on that 780...that's awesome. I'd absolutely encourage you to apply (all the information is here: ).
We do really like getting a cover letter - for us it's a great way to get a feel for someone's motivation to teach the GMAT ("seems like easy/quick money" vs. a passion for education and/or a genuine enjoyment of and intellectual curiosity about GMAT problems) and to get a quick assessment of communication ability. And for me as an interviewer, it also tends to shine some light on conversation topics for an initial call, too.
As far as competitiveness, we set a pretty high bar for the kind of people we want to put in front of our students - there's the obvious score requirement, which you've hit, and then some of the other essentials (strong communication ability, good insight into GMAT problems and strategies, a student-focused way about looking at problems and concepts, etc.). We also put a pretty high premium on "intellectual curiosity" as it pertains to what we do - wondering which angles the test might take on a concept, why students seem to choose a certain trap answer type or struggle with a certain concept, etc. - and on those who teach because they love teaching/helping. We want teachers who happen to be great at the GMAT, as oppose to people who are great at the GMAT who happen to want to teach it, if that makes sense.
I'd love to talk more about it if you submit an application. Looking forward!

Hi Brian, thanks for responding! Veritas happens to be the place I'm most interested in, so I'm really glad you reached out. If it's okay, could you possibly tell me what the interview process at Veritas would be like (phone call, in-person, etc). Thanks!
