Friendly, open, informative. I felt that the recruiter believed in the message and overall goal of Teach for America. That said, the financial support offered seems minimal at best initially - you're expected to pay out of pocket for a lot of initial expenses and you can attempt to balance them with applying for grants you may not receive.

It was long and tough. Required a lot of preparation, but if you are well prepared and passionate about this work you will succeed. The interview is very positive, and they truly want to get to know you and your interests. My best piece of advice is me authentic and honest. I believe they are looking for passionate individuals who are resilient and recognize their shortcomings, but are always looking to be better.
