Director at Teach for America

Declined Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY (US) Jan 2010 – Reviewed Sep 11, 2010

Interview Details There was a role play involved in which I was asked to pretend I was in the position for which I was applying. It definitely was not too difficult at all, and mostly you needed common sense in order to get through it. Overall, I think that the interviewers were quite professional and made a strong effort to make me feel comfortable. Also, once I received the offer, I was called by a few people from the org to discuss the job. In sum, I had a pretty positive interview experience with Teach For America.

Interview Question – Pretend you are [person in the job for which I was applying]. How would you react to Situation X?   Answer Question
