I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Teach for America (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
I applied online after hearing one of the recruiters come speak in one of my college classes. I submitted application and essay questions and then was had a phone interview and was invited to tour an elementary school in Los Angeles with a few other candidates applying for the program. Although I did not advance to a final interview and lesson plan, the process still was about 2 months for me from start to finish. Interview questions were typical, business-related, dry, formal generic questions. It was disappointing to not be asked more in-depth interview questions to unveil any personal passions or characteristics that would relate to the passion needed to be fulfilled in this type of a job.
The interview was relaxed and they were certainly there to help. They made it clear they would help you through the whole process of becoming a teacher with your own mentor guiding you.
easy and fun, lots of help through the process. Very helpful and kind, lots of responsiveness. everyone has a clear vision of the mission, and wants to achieve it. Loved it.
