I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Teach for America in Jan 2011
Interview
First have to fill out a detailed application, in which your personal statement is very important. Then some have a phone interview, but I was able to skip it. Next is the group interview, where you have to teach and are judged on your interactions with other candidates. Looking for a very specific personality type, so much so that they rate on a scale of 1-3 on 6 different personality traits and then put the results into a computer program and see if you fit what they are looking for. Very professional and structured.
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.
