I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Teach for America (Tulsa, OK) in Apr 2017
Interview
The process was similar to corps member application, focused on teaching ideology and coaching habits. Many questions were centered around how you would deal with a difficult corps member, and how you would encourage diversity amongst your team.
I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America (Birmingham, AL) in Jan 2021
Interview
Was very smooth and organized. Was provided pre-reading that helped a bit with some of the interview questions. Interviewers really wanted to get a sense of commitment to goals/mission of the organization so a lot of questions dealt with my understanding and drive for the TFA mission.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Las Vegas, NV) in Jul 2020
Interview
Long and grueling. Lots of writing. Takes a week to hear from them after submitting anything. Feel like my time was wasted. Doesn’t make sense to interview so many candidates. You can tell right away if you will not get the job. The manager will have a disappointed look on her face, and the interview will be less than 45 minutes.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Teach for America
Interview
The interview process was rigorous, but that is to be expected. There a multiple components to the process including data analysis, creating a plan to help make a teacher more effective and phone/in person interviews.
