Interview

They asked me about organization experiences I've had had in the past. Interviewer will not look into your eye, as they have many things to type and store about the review of the interview. This was disturbing for me.

Interview

Very exhaustive, but well worth it, the group interview and the 1:1 interview lasted really long. The sample teaching in on a strict timeline. Just be yourself and answer the questions. Be a team player and respect your fellow applicants during the interview. It is not a competitive process, but very selective.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Teach For India in March 2010.

Interview

1st round: online application
2nd round: phone interview
3rd round: assessment center - final round consists of 5 minute teaching sample, group discussion, question answer session, one on one interviews. Each part is measuring different aspects. But I think the one on one interview which is 1 hour long is the most important. They keep emphasizing the fact that it is not a competitive hiring process. If they find all are good, then all will be recruited. The one on one interview includes a role play.
The group discussion is quite competitive with 8-12 people in every group. You are given articles to read before the interview. So the discussion basically involves a problem solving activity which is based on some of the information from the article/s.
They are looking to see whether or not you can do the job, but beyond that also how passionate you are about this 2 year teaching commitment.
Key questions in the one on one interview: Why Teach For India? Why Teach? Describe a day in your life.
The interviewers tend to focus on your leadership positions on your resume or from the written application. They want to know how you led, the impact you had, your success as a leader.
In the teaching sample segment they are extremely strict about the 5 minute time limit and the one minute set-up. They will just not listen to a word after the 5 minute mark. Be prepared to answer questions while you teach. If none of the participants (other interviewees ask them), then the interviewers will jump in.
In the group discussion however, the interviewers (usually 2) do not get involved in the discussion at all, or for that matter don't mediate also. They simply sit, observe and take notes.
