      Alumni Affairs Coordinator Interview

      7 Feb 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Philadelphia, PA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Philadelphia, PA) in Sept 2012

      Interview

      I filled out the general application on Teach For America's website. I got a follow up email from them in about 3-4 weeks. From there I scheduled a phone interview, where I was screened for a few different positions, where I expressed my interest in a specific role. I then had a 2nd phone interview one week later, which was followed by a 3rd interview a few days after. The entire process was long, but I was so at ease with the staff. I did not end up getting the position, but was in the top 3 contenders. They were so nice, even when it came to telling me I was not offered the position.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There were no unexpected questions, they were not trying to be tricky like in some interviews. They asked the standard questions: "What core values do you identify with most"? "What are your thoughts on the mission"? "Why are you interested in this position/what do you know about TFA"? "What does leadership mean to you"? "Describe a time you took on a leadership position"? "How do you stay organized"? (They want a very detailed answer here) "Name a time you failed at something, how did you handle it"? "If we talked to your supervisor, what would he/she say you need to improve on"?
