I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Teach for America in Dec 2010
Interview
phone interview was really rushed and the interviewer wasnt very interactive. after that, in the final round, the 5 minute presentation was fine but slightly awkward. the 1 on 1 interview was pretty bad actually..i was unlucky to get the last slot at the end of a long week for them, since they had 4 full-day interviews before me. the interviewer was really tired and sluggish and it showed. i personally felt that it went really well but ultimately i didnt get it. though i dont want to say that the interviewer's fatigue had anything to do with it, but it really was difficult to pick up his mood and try to impress him, no matter how upbeat i was....
The interview was relaxed and they were certainly there to help. They made it clear they would help you through the whole process of becoming a teacher with your own mentor guiding you.
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.
