I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2013
Interview
The application and interview process was intense and required a great deal of work. The company was very clear and concise in their communication of deadlines, requirements etc. The interview lasted about an hour and a half and I was interviewed by three people. They did a good job making me feel comfortable, but the interview questions were challenging and unique. The questions were based on future scenarios for the most part.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pretend that it is your first day meeting your corps members. Introduce yourself and the vision you have for yourself, your corps members and their students.
I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America (Birmingham, AL) in Jan 2021
Interview
Was very smooth and organized. Was provided pre-reading that helped a bit with some of the interview questions. Interviewers really wanted to get a sense of commitment to goals/mission of the organization so a lot of questions dealt with my understanding and drive for the TFA mission.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Las Vegas, NV) in July 2020
Interview
Long and grueling. Lots of writing. Takes a week to hear from them after submitting anything. Feel like my time was wasted. Doesn’t make sense to interview so many candidates. You can tell right away if you will not get the job. The manager will have a disappointed look on her face, and the interview will be less than 45 minutes.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Teach for America
Interview
The interview process was rigorous, but that is to be expected. There a multiple components to the process including data analysis, creating a plan to help make a teacher more effective and phone/in person interviews.
