I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Fortaleza, ) in Mar 2015
Interview
The interview was Thorough and personal. The interviewers were very nice and understanding. The video interview in place of an in person interview was tough and made the group activities awkward. I recommend avoiding a final virtual interview. Weather conditions forced me to participate in the virtual interview and it threw me off. I was trying to figure out the technology half of the time.

Question 1
Why do you want to work with Teach for America, and how are you committed to educational equity?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Teach for America (Newark, NJ)
Interview
Teach For America's staffing for corps member interviews is hit or miss. I felt uncomfortable with the forced rainbow coalition interview set up. It seemed very performative especially when you realized that there were no regular Black people. Everyone graduated from Harvard or had an MBA from some other Ivy. It was weird.
