I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Teach for America
Interview
- Group interview with other students from your university (at least in my case) that spans most of the day. In general, the activities are interesting, however my one-on-one interview was very strange. My interviewer didn't seem interested in speaking with my about my experience, and only asked about a very specific role in a student organization. It seemed they only picked out titles from resume, instead of looking at years of experience with an organization.

Question 1
How did you take a leadership role in this position?
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Philadelphia, PA) in Dec 2024
Interview
The interview was very different from most interviews but I was definitely well-prepared with the resources that TFA had offered in preparation. My interviewer was very nice and it often felt like a conversation between us about whatever question was asked which was nice.

Question 1
Why do you want to be a part of Teach For America?
I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America (Ithaca, NY) in Oct 2024
Interview
The interview started with a mock lesson and case study, followed by questions about me and my interest in the position. I prepared slides to present to the interviewer and shared my screen.
You had to complete a demo in front of other candidates as well as recruiters. The demo itself was short and you had flexibility in what you “taught” for your lesson.
