      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Teach for America in Nov 2010

      Interview

      I had a phone interview that went really well. They talked a little about the articles I was asked to read in advance. They are really looking for a positive attitude. I also got invited to the final in person interview. It consisted of a 5-minute lesson, a group activity and, later in the day, a one-on-one interview. I felt semi-confident with how I did and was surprised by how many people did not seem prepared. A few did not even come close to finishing their lesson and one finished with a minute and a half left. They give you the exact date they will be telling you their decision. I did not get an offer. I later found out one of the other candidates, who did not finish even half his lesson plan and worked awkwardly with us on the group activity, was accepted. He was a biochemistry major and had a 3.85 GPA. I had heard they like to keep their statistics up and now I would not doubt it.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Role play: You are a teacher trying to schedule a field trip that you know would really help your students better understand the materials. The department head has denied all field trip requests this year. How would you discuss the field trip with the department head (the interviewer)?
      Answer question

      Interview

      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.

      They asked me to walk them through a case study, explaining how I would approach the problem, structure my analysis, and recommend a solution. They focused on my thought process, communication, and ability to connect insights to business outcomes.
