I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Teach for America (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2010
Interview
Three tier interview. Long written application, including references. Followed by a phone interview, culminating in a 4 hour, practice class (where you teach a lesson), watch a video and comment, round table discussion, and 1 on 1 interview with the host.

Question 1
What would you do if...
You were teaching and you ran into a conflict with administrators, co-worker regarding testing, and your wanting to teach outside of what waas expected of you.
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.
It's a one-hour interview covering both technical and behavioral rounds, including a case study. So, prepare to discuss your skills, past experiences, and walk through your problem-solving approach for a real-world business scenario.
