I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Philadelphia, PA) in Feb 2018
Interview
In terms of the in-person interview questions, the questions are pretty standard. They ask more about your experience as opposed to why you're interested in TFA as a whole, so my advice would be to study your resume and be ready to explain your leadership roles in all of them and conflicts you have had in those positions. It was very conversational. The lady I had was awesome, DON'T BE NERVOUS.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you stay organized? Why TFA? Tell me about a time you had a conflict with your supervisor or team member and how did you solve it? Have you ever missed a deadline? What was your most difficult class in college and why? How did you overcome that?

Interview
The first half of the day, from 9:00 - 11:15, was dedicated to everyone's 5-minute sample lesson, 15 minute group activity, and overview of TFA and everything related to the organization and the experience. After that is a short break where you sign up for a 1:1 interview slot, which last about 45 minutes and are anywhere from 11:30 to 4:30. The entire interview process was very relaxed and pleasant.

Interview
Long and comprehensive, but fair. There is a group stage, an individual stage, and a sample lesson. You have to solve a problem as a group, and they ask you about the experience in the individual stage.
