I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Teach for America in Nov 2011
Interview
I was re-introduced to Teach for America through a school administrator who had been looking for teachers but could not find candidates with the right education (i.e. having at least a Bachelor's Degree). After I applied, I had a telephone interview that lasted about 45 minutes. I then had a final interview with 11 other candidates and 2 TFA recruiters. The day consisted of a 5-minute "lesson" to be presented to the group, a panel discussion with the other candidates while the recruiters sat back and took notes, and a 1:1 interview with a recruiter. My interview was at the end of November; I got notification of my acceptance in mid-January.
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Teach for America in Oct 2010
Interview
I was contacted through a recruiter at school and applied through the website. After that I had a brief phone interview, which mainly served to measure my interest in the program. Finally, I had an in person interview which started with teaching a 5 minute lesson (you had to finish within 5 minutes), then a group discussion, a problem solving test, and finally finished with a one-on-one interview.
