      Teacher Interview

      13 Apr 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Teach for America in Mar 2011

      Interview

      The interview process begins with a phone interview in which you are asked basic questions. After the phone interview you may be invited to a final interview. In this round you must present a five-minute lesson plan on a subject of your choosing, take a skills test, participate in a group problem solving with 8-12 other interviewees, do a role play activity and do a one-on-one interview. The process is quite intimidating and a bit overdone. During my interview all of the other interviewees were very supportive and cordial. Most people were most nervous about the five minute lesson plan, but it seemed like the interviewers cared more about the other parts. I was not offered a position and received little feedback as to why.
