The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America in Jul 2015
Interview
It was a lengthy process involving a phone screen, a written project, and two stages of phone interviews. Interviews were a challenging mix of questions, including both standard behavioral questions (e.g. "Tell me about a time when you experienced conflict at work...") and case-style questions about how I would approach a specific project I might be asked to complete in the role. But everyone I communicated with was extremely professional, courteous, responsive, and well-organized. It was clear they were putting thought and effort into the process and committed to selecting the best candidate.
Although I did not ultimately receive an offer, the hiring manager told me it was a very difficult decision, provided feedback and encouraged me to apply for similar roles with the organization in the future. I left feeling that the time and effort I had put into the process had been valued, and that I had learned quite a bit by engaging in it.

Question 1
Which of the TFA core values do you most identify with and why?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America
Interview
Long process, very detailed online application. After you do the application, you can choose whatever deadline you want to use, but the closer deadlines give you a better chance for the region you want to teach in. I applied in the summer so any updates took over a month. My application passed to the phone interview, but I did not pass that.

Question 1
Can you give me a time in which you were given a challenging situation and how did you overcome it?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Teach for America (Washington, DC)
Interview
There were two in person interviews and one over the phone interview. I believe that it definitely was very tedious for the type of position that I was applying for to have such a rigorous interview process.
