I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Teach for America (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2012
Interview
There were several interviews. Phone and in person. Essays and applications. It was a very tedious process. Tons of paperwork. Plenty of tests and immunizations as well. Transcripts etc.
There was a 5 min lesson I had to give with a lesson plan prepared for that lesson as well. My advice is don't sweat the lesson. Although I was extremely nervous, they understood it was my first time and they plan to train you to help you get better. Bring props and be prepared and on time.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Teach for America (Philadelphia, PA) in Feb 2014

Very easy interview because I was not asked any difficult questions. The interviewer was very welcoming and friendly. It was a very relaxing environment. You dont have much to worry about.
