City Year interview questions

I applied for the early deadline in September and received an email a few weeks later for a phone interview with the Regional Admissions Manager. The interview mainly focused on scenarios and my background on working with children and on a team. A week later I received an email for a second phone interview (I was away at college so both interviews were via phone). The second interview was about 45 minutes- 1 hour long and similar to the first one but more in-depth. The guy on the phone was very stiff and serious so I was nervous the entire time. By mid-October I heard back from the Admissions office and was put on the waiting list. I waited for a month and eventually got the position. My advice is to apply early and give scenarios. Also, do your research- talk to past or current Corps Members, CYNY website etc.

After submitting my application, there was a phone interview, and then an in-person interview with a staff member at their office. The questions were essentially repeated and were very basic: give an example of when you were in a difficult situation, etc. Received notice that I was hired maybe less than a month after my interview.
