Institute Operations Interview

Oct 17, 2014

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Teach for America

Interview

Online application, followed by phone interview, interview activity, and another phone interview. Talked with previous employees and then the operations manager for the training institute. Overall a very positive interview process. If you want to work at a specific institute, make sure you notate that on your application, otherwise they will really send you anywhere (which is kinda great too!).

TFA Corps Member Interview

Oct 17, 2014

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Application

I interviewed at Teach for America

Interview

Very rigorous. 2 phone interviews. One 8 hour battery day. 6 weeks institute. More interviews with districts. Then you begin. This process is very cumbersome for the actually pay you will receive. The experiences and education will gain will be very beneficially but its not the ideal way to go if you can get into better jobs out of college.

Interview questions [1]

Question 1

Present a mock lesson in front of 20 - 40 other applicants. Additionally, do not disclose too many biases or preferences. They read into so much about what you think and believe. If you are conservative, you will have a hard time finding similar minded people.

Difficult interview

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (New York, NY) in Apr 2012

Interview

Interview process was extensive. Through the interview process they also do a good job of having you drink the Kool aid and convincing you that their program is worth participating in.
