I applied in-person. I interviewed at Teach for America (Philadelphia, PA) in Apr 2020
Interview
Be prepared for your interviewer to ask you a number of questions about overcoming challenges. They will likely ask you about your own academic career. The interview process is long. Part of it is a group interview, and there is about an hour of one on one time. They will give hypothetical scenarios that you have to react to-- I found them to be similar to 'trick' questions at times, so answer truthfully because that is what they're looking for.
The interview was relaxed and they were certainly there to help. They made it clear they would help you through the whole process of becoming a teacher with your own mentor guiding you.
easy and fun, lots of help through the process. Very helpful and kind, lots of responsiveness. everyone has a clear vision of the mission, and wants to achieve it. Loved it.

Question 1
How would you take care of yourself in a high stress job?
It's a one-hour interview covering both technical and behavioral rounds, including a case study. So, prepare to discuss your skills, past experiences, and walk through your problem-solving approach for a real-world business scenario.

They asked me to walk them through a case study, explaining how I would approach the problem, structure my analysis, and recommend a solution. They focused on my thought process, communication, and ability to connect insights to business outcomes.
