I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Teach for America in Oct 2014
Interview
I filled out the online application and submitted my resume. Then I was alerted that I made it to the phone interview. The interview itself was about 45 minutes long. It was quite an intense interview, with standard interview questions and also specific questions that had to do with teaching. The interviewer asked my questions about items from my resume, but none really that had to do with my related teaching or education experience that I really wanted to talk about. It was a weird interview that, at the end, left me feeling like I wasn't the right fit for the program.

It's a one-hour interview covering both technical and behavioral rounds, including a case study. So, prepare to discuss your skills, past experiences, and walk through your problem-solving approach for a real-world business scenario.
