I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at City Year (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2021
Interview
30-minute phone call. The interviewer would mute self after questions were asked, which felt very transactional. They took the phone call from their car, and I did not feel excited about the position after the interview ended. With that being said, I had a great experience and the interview did not reflect my time at City Year.
I applied online. I interviewed at City Year (New York, NY)
Interview
I filled out the online application then I got an email, scheduling a phone interview. It lasted for almost an hour I want to say. Then I heard back within a week that I got the job. I didn't meet anyone in person until registration day, which is when they collect your identification pretty much.
