Teach for America Technology Procurement Interview

Posted Jan 22, 2013

No Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY (US) Dec 2012 – Reviewed Jan 22, 2013

Interview Details Interview was set up to meet with 5 different people from different departments over the span of 4/5 hours in one sitting.
At the last minute two of the interviewers decided to sit together and ask questions, in the interest of saving time.

Interview Question – It appeared that they were not completely in sync with the actual job description. They were looking for more of a Project Manager with direct IT experience rather than a broad sprectrum of procurement experience. They insisted on talking "shop" with their specific IT infrastructure terminology, with zero focus on all of the other various aspects of what a procurement job actually involves. This implied to me that the department was run very poorly and lacked good direction.   Answer Question

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