      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Teach for America (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      Extremely intensive application and interview process. Online application followed by online activity and full-day in-person interview that involved a sample teaching lesson and a one-on-one interview. I did not have to do the normal phone interview. Overall, the process was not too bad, just very long and a lot of work.
