The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (New York, NY) in Apr 2011
Interview
The hiring process is quite long, there is 5 to 6 rounds of interviews. The first few take place over the phone. As you get further along in the process, they may have another interviewer meet with you that is closer to your region/area. Then if you pass all those processes, will you possibly receive a fly out.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Teach for America (Boston, MA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Applied and invited to phone interview. After phone interview, invited to Final Interview. Final Interview consisted of a group of about 15 candidates in a room with a Selector. Each applicant has to teach a 5 minute sample lesson on a topic of their choosing, and then there are several group activities that are looking for your to shine as a leader. The day ends with a 1-on-1 interview with the Selector for 15 minutes. It is a long day, but it is generally exciting.
