Process was cool, 20 min phone interview. Read questions straight from a sheet, typed your answers giving you time to think. Second interview about 40 minutes, more details about city year. Pretty smooth process.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at City Year
Interview
pretty basic interview. Applied online on the website. Received a notice to set up a phone interview. Asked basic questions. Got asked for a second interview after the completion of the first with similar questions. Offer took a total of around 3-4 weeks to get after initial interview.

Question 1
pretty basic questions (most difficult situation, a triumph you have had, etc.)
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at City Year (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2013
Interview
The online application is long and similar to Peace Corps because they ask for two recommenders plus two essays. Do not take the essays too lightly; I spent three days on these short pieces because I wanted to insert relative examples of my experience, goals and ideals while discussing my knowledge of the program. The first phone interview was really quick because I was read; I had prepared answers and I had my resume in front of me. The second interview was in person with some new questions and some repeats. Make sure you come well dressed and that you act professional.
You have to be enthusiastic and show them why this position is right for you. Dont just summarize your resume.
If you can go to a school visit I strongly recommend you go. I got to talk a lot about my conversations with the current core members that I met during my visit. I felt more prepared and at ease because I had something concrete that I learned about the program.
