I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America (Columbia, MO) in Sept 2015
Interview
A lengthy online application, followed by a phone interview, then a online assessment, then a formal interview. Each of these steps took time to either complete for or prepare. The people phone interviewing were friendly and able to give direct, relevant feedback on how I could make the final interview stronger.
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.
It's a one-hour interview covering both technical and behavioral rounds, including a case study. So, prepare to discuss your skills, past experiences, and walk through your problem-solving approach for a real-world business scenario.
