I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Teach for America (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
There were three sections to the interview. There was an initial application, phone interview, and in person/group interview. The in person interview was in a group setting for most of the time. It involved teaching a lesson, a case study, and an individual interview. This whole setting felt very comfortable throughout most of the time. The overall process was a lot of work with many deadlines to meet.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview process lasted about an hour and a half. I provided a demo lesson plan, then reflected on a case study, and finally went over my resume and why I wanted to join Teach for America

Question 1
Why do you want to work with Teach for America, and how are you committed to educational equity?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Teach for America (Newark, NJ)
Interview
Teach For America's staffing for corps member interviews is hit or miss. I felt uncomfortable with the forced rainbow coalition interview set up. It seemed very performative especially when you realized that there were no regular Black people. Everyone graduated from Harvard or had an MBA from some other Ivy. It was weird.
