I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at City Year (San Antonio, TX) in Oct 2018
Interview
I applied online on their website, the next day I got an email to schedule an interview. About a week later I had the interview. The admissions manager explained to me at the beginning of the interview, that she will be taking notes during the interview, she told me not to worry if there were long pauses, which was very reassuring. The interview lasted about half an hour. Then an extra 15 minutes to explain to me logistics and what the next steps of the process will be.
Important advice: really look at the questions on Glassdoor, most of the questions I was asked during the interview were similar to those I read on Glassdoor.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Can you tell me a time in your life where you struggled with something but finally managed to make it through?
What would you do if a student who had been showing progress in the last few months, was suddenly regressing, and an important test that will determine whether he will pass to the next grade or not, was coming up?
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
