City Year interview questions

The interview will probably be over skype, and they tell you that they will be recording your responses on a computer. It is very difficult to get into a conversation with the interviewer, because they are literally just typing your responses the whole time. A lot of their questions are actually four or five questions all at once. I would either take notes or I would ask them to give you the questions one at a time. It can be frustrating to talk to someone who may not look up from their screen the whole time.

After the application, it was a phone call and it was just basic interview questions like strengths, weaknesses, why you chose city year, scenarios. They just wanted to make sure that they knew why you were doing this and if you were passionate.
