I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2019
Interview
It was a solo interview, I think they normally do group interviews but because of COVID it was virtual and just the interviewer and myself. They asked questions about my resume then did a sample lesson I created before the interview.
