First of all, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so if there is a better place to post please let me know.
I've been considering sending an application to either Veritas or Magoosh to be a GMAT tutor. Does anyone know how competitive it is to get a position at either place? I understand that Veritas has a score requirement that you score in the 99th percentile which I was fortunate enough to have done a few months back (780 Q49 V48). I'm assuming Magoosh's requirement might be lower because I noticed their pay is lower (although being completely remote would be a great perk). Besides GMAT requirement, how closely do they look for other things? Veritas asks for substantial teaching or tutoring experience and also asks for a cover letter, which I'm guessing is pretty important. Regarding the interview process, I would appreciate any insight on that as well. I'm in the NYC area if that makes a difference.
I would greatly appreciate any information regarding these companies (or similar companies), thanks.

Great to see your score of 740 LeatherCouch
I have Zero knowledge about this, but, why not start your own prep company with such a great score?

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: https://www.veritasprep.com/jobs/).
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!
