I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America
Interview
There are 4 application rounds per year starting in the fall. The application is thorough and requires a personal statement. A phone interview follows and if you are invited for the onsite interview then you will be required to do a sample 5min teaching lesson and 1 or 2 face-to-face interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would there be any reason for you to leave the core/teaching profession during your 2 year commitment?
Everyone was very nice and helpful. The interview was relatively easy and my interviewer was so sweet. They truly want you to succeed and want to work with you so you can display your best qualities
I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America
Interview
The interview was very intensive, lasting 4-5 hours. You have to plan a 5 minute lesson, conduct a teamwork based activity with people you are essentially competing with, and then do a 1-1 interview for about 45 minutes. It was very hard, but also one of the most positive interview experiences I've had!
