I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America
Interview
Long and verbose. Didn't seem to yield better results based on length. Ultimately job was offered to another candidate that was internal. Given this, would nice to have known earlier.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Teach for America
Interview
Interviewed at a career fair. After approaching the first recruiter I was turned off to the company. The recruiter simply offered me pamphlets describing the company and did not let me speak or present myself as a candidate before brushing me off. I approached on a different day and met with another recruiter. This time around the recruiter was extremely pleasant and the interview process was formatted more as a conversation rather than questions.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Teach for America (New York, NY) in Nov 2012
Interview
There is first a phone interview, followed by a Skype interview, followed by an all day group interview that ends with a one on one hour long interview. The all day group interview involves team strategy exercises, a sample teaching lesson plan, and then the one on one interview begins with a role play scenario.
