Teach for America interview questions

The online application computes a numerical score for every application. Any score exceeding the threshold results in a phone and/or final interview. The application scoring algorithm rewards points for the typical admissions stuff (SAT, GRE, GPA, etc. etc.) Just as important as the admissions-y stuff is the TFA traits they test for. Always highlight experiences you've had that exhibit the following traits: -leadership -goal-setting -ability to find yourself at fault to fix a problem -ability to thrive from adversity -tolerance of different views -helping others out of a love for humanity These types of traits are very intentionally coded into the possible answers you can choose from in the application. Know that you're selling your brand when you're applying to TFA... while knowing that your brand really means their's.

There are 3 rounds. First they look at your application, then a phone interview, and lastly a final in-person interview. Whole process takes about 5 months. Very long. Not very hard just long. Interviews focused on one aspect of resume and nothing more. Talked about scenarios in which you would likely face in the fall if you were hired. Interviewers were very friendly and nice. They are respectful.
