Corps Member Interview

Apr 7, 2015

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Positive experience

Difficult interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Teach for America (Raleigh, NC) in Nov 2013

Interview

Long, but liberating process of hard work! Very interesting and fun! Complete application online, with personal intent, recommendations, and resume. Phone interview first, then presentation (teaching), then one-on-one interview! Excellent interviewing process but remember to recruit differently because many CM's do not make it their full two years.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Teach for America in Feb 2015

Interview

First there was a phone interview. It was not so great because it was clear they were reading from a script. I answered a question and then I was asked a very similar question right afterwards which showed to me they weren't listening to closely but rather just following a script.
