City Year interview questions

Because of the nature of City Year many of those applying end up doing phone interviews. There is an introductory interview that lasts about 15-30 minutes and a secondary one that lasts about 45 minutes. The questions are very idealistic in nature and include things about teamwork, leadership and your goals and aspirations. They do also ask about any previous volunteer or working with students. The interviewers are program managers who are generally extremely nice and patient.

Phone Interview and Skype Interview The questions were fairly similar for both interviews. Each time I was asked about difficult situations I had to overcome, strengths, weaknesses, etc. I got the phone interview and then a week or so after that I was offered a second interview over skype (it would have been in-person but I was out of state)
