        Pros

        TFA was great with professional development and showed a real commitment to its staff and learning. There is a lot of room to grow and develop skills where you want and need!

        Cons

        The cons are few and far between for me, and they're changing the internal structure a lot so it might not be relevant but getting help from the national office was often a chore and a half!

          Pros

          -It's very meaningful/fulfilling and you get to form good relationships with your students, incorporating both academic instruction and other forms of support and belonging-related activities. -The onboarding/Teach for America staff I've met all seem very positive, kind, and caring, and truly seem to value the fellows/tutors/employees. -There is some flexibility in your hours- you get to select which school you work with and different schools have different meeting/tutoring times. However, students are meeting with you during the school day, so if you work/are busy from from 9-5 Monday through Friday, you may not find any options that work for you. -Overall, I think it's a very meaningful and pleasant job for those that want to work with people/children in a meaningful, educational, relationship-building way but who obviously don't need benefits or full-time hours.

          Cons

          -You can only join this fellowship if you are a current college student to my understanding (although I believe you can continue being a fellow after graduation if you started as a student). -It is very much a part-time job and there's no option to get more hours- usually you get the opportunity to select one or two schools (doing two gets you more money) at a time, and each school placement is estimated to take about 5 hours per week of prep and tutoring. So, it's about 5-10 hours of work per week and is only available during two semesters of the year, AKA there are a number of months in the year when they don't offer the chance to work.

        Data Analyst

        I’m new to this data analyst part of tech. I’m trying to break in but it’s been difficult. Can anyone help me with what to expect for interview questions for my position?

        Is there an ‘active job seeker’ icon for recruiters on LinkedIn the way there is an ‘actively recruiting’ icon for job seekers?

        Senior Resource Manager

        Last Thursday and Friday I interviewed with 2 hiring managers for 2 different companies. Both of them said they’d like me to progress to the next interview and the recruiter would reach out. One company said they wanted a offer out this month so it would be a quick process. I sent thank you emails and references. I haven’t heard from either recruiter. I had the recruiter screening and hiring manager interview just days apart, I thought I’d hear back by now. Thoughts?!
