Teach for America interview questions

The 5-minute time limit on the lesson is heavily enforced and you will be cut off if you run over. Be friendly to the people you are interviewing with and it will make the whole process easier.

Long, tedious and questionable. I should have heeded the multitude of criticisms against TFA before wasting my time applying. Multiple red flags: they never contacted any of my references (heaven know what kinds of "teachers" they have in our kids' classrooms), they insisted on a virtual interview which is the most impersonal type of interview possible. Many reviews I read stated that TFA throws you to the wolves after their woefully inadequate "training", and seeing the application process myself, I can believe it. There was a definite sense of them trying to indoctrinate applicants from very early on, and I believe they are ideally looking for young minority candidates so that they can be easily manipulated into accepting undesirable assignments and salary, just to become a teacher. Also, the woman who conducted the virtual interview had admittedly never set foot in a classroom. I applied to another program and was accepted. I thank my lucky stars that I dodged a bullet with TFA.
