I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at City Year (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Online application with a couple of essay questions about why you like working with kids and why you think you would be successful at this job. I got an email a week later that asked me to sign up for a phone interview since I was in a different city when I applied. There was supposed to be a screening interview, but I guess they skipped it for me. The phone interview lasted about 45 minutes (dependent on the questions that you ask your interviewer at the end). It was relatively easy and felt more like a conversation than an interview. The woman was very nice and I heard back from the company two weeks later with an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your experience working with children?
What is your teaching philosophy?
If you are leading a small group in tutoring, and you notice that one student is not paying attention/struggling, what would you do?
Very simple. Quick virtual interview and pretty simple questions. Research their values and what not and you should be good to go. As far as I remember it was a single interview and decision is relatively soon after that.
Really friendly and welcoming. Try to make it as comfortable as possible and share about the work they do. They want to ensure applicants are making the right decisions and that they assess the values.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at City Year
Interview
Done over zoom and not an overly long process interviews are usually conducted by the IM for a school in the city you are applying for but if you have a pulse you should be fine
