I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citizen Schools in Jan 2017
Interview
Applied online, received a phone interview which was pretty standardized (they explained the position in detail, the common challenges, and proceeded to the questions which were also standard), then received a job simulation activity (which essentially gave me a profile of different students, and then I needed to choose three students to give extra time/attention to and develop activities that would address them specifically in the larger class context.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical questions you would imagine. How can this position advance your professional goals? Why are you interested in this position? In which ways you feel you can connect with the population you are serving (children and parents)?
I applied online. I interviewed at Citizen Schools (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
Very quick and easy. However I would have been placed at a school in Harlem which is almost 2 overs from my apartment in Brooklyn. This would mean 13 hour days for me, which is not an option. I also came to this decision because the school has a reputation for poor student behavior and the company doesn't seem to offer much training upon starting.

1.) They first call you and ask a few questions about yourself and how you handle conflict
2.) Then you do an online activity
3.) If you pass that then you go in for an interview
