Met directly with the host organization and applied directly to their listing. Did not meet with any staff from the national AmeriCorps Office. A phone interview and panel video interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AmeriCorps (Philadelphia, PA) in Apr 2020
Interview
Went through an interview process with the host organization. Minimal contact with anyone from the federal AmeriCorps office. All online. Only one round of interviews as well as a supplemental questionnaire.
The interview process is a bit lengthy. You have a longer interview which consist of learning a bit more of Americorps and the services they provide. Then it’s the process of placement that can take awhile.
