I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Teach for America (Ann Arbor, MI) in Nov 2012
Interview
The first stage is an online application, including your activities (specify leadership positions) and two letters of recommendation
Then there is a phone interview, which was pretty simple. They really want to hear about leadership positions and times when you had to manage other people. Be very clear about the number of people you managed
The final interview was a 5 minute teaching lesson and a 1-on-1 interview (many of the same questions as the phone interview)

Question 1
What is the most difficult situation that you have had to handle
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.

Question 1
How would you take care of yourself in a high stress job?
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.
