I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Teach for America in Mar 2012
Interview
There are 3 rounds. First they look at your application, then a phone interview, and lastly a final in-person interview. Whole process takes about 5 months. Very long. Not very hard just long. Interviews focused on one aspect of resume and nothing more. Talked about scenarios in which you would likely face in the fall if you were hired. Interviewers were very friendly and nice. They are respectful.

How do you get funding from your principal for an after school program when your students cannot afford to contribute and your school has no money? They keep responding to you with "that won't work, what else can you do" and make you keep thinking of more answers...

Question 1

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Teach for America (Newark, NJ)
Interview
Teach For America's staffing for corps member interviews is hit or miss. I felt uncomfortable with the forced rainbow coalition interview set up. It seemed very performative especially when you realized that there were no regular Black people. Everyone graduated from Harvard or had an MBA from some other Ivy. It was weird.
