Teach for America Teacher Interview

Posted Sep 16, 2012

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Colorado Springs, CO (US) – Reviewed Sep 16, 2012

Interview Details I had 3 interviews. It was pretty intense. The application process wasn't that difficult but very extensive, including an essay and academic records. They were definitely looking for candidates who could relate to the students, culturally, socioeconomically, etc. It bodes well for the applicant that can demonstrate a track record of perseverance through adversity.

Interview Question – How do you manage your schedule/all the things you need to do?   View Answer

Negotiation Details – No negotiation. I rated which regions/subject area I'd like to work in and they gave me a placement. The salary was based on the school district and was non-negotiable.

Other Details - I applied through a recruiter and the process took 3 months.
