I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Teach for America in Nov 2008
Interview
Wrote an essay before getting a call to set up an interview at a large university. When I arrived, the process started with an introduction. We all introduced ourselves and went around giving 5 minute teaching presentations that we had to prepare earlier. Afterwards, we took part in a group discussion about two articles that we had to read beforehand. The 1:1 interview took roughly 45 minutes and your standard behavioral questions were asked. A lot of specific questions about how you handle adversity and why you feel you would be able to be a teacher.

easy and fun, lots of help through the process. Very helpful and kind, lots of responsiveness. everyone has a clear vision of the mission, and wants to achieve it. Loved it.
