Very relaxed, interviewer had set list of questions to ask. Lasted 30 mins it was very focused on situational questions (what would you do..) and how you focus on self-care/manage stress because burnout is common. It was a phone interview so I was able to look at notes. Very focused on their values (there are 10 of them so be familiar), they asked me about one of them specifically and how it relates to my experiences. There is some pause between your response and when they ask the next question because they're writing it down but it's not that awkward.
Prior to my interview I scrolled on here and wrote down the questions that had been suggested and preparing for those took time but 100% worth it.
(can't remember word for word but): If a student has been performing well academically but suddenly they start to struggle right before an important upcoming test that will determine whether or not they pass the grade, what would you do?
Very simple. Quick virtual interview and pretty simple questions. Research their values and what not and you should be good to go. As far as I remember it was a single interview and decision is relatively soon after that.
Really friendly and welcoming. Try to make it as comfortable as possible and share about the work they do. They want to ensure applicants are making the right decisions and that they assess the values.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at City Year
Interview
Done over zoom and not an overly long process interviews are usually conducted by the IM for a school in the city you are applying for but if you have a pulse you should be fine
