I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AmeriCorps (Santa Rosa, CA) in Jan 2014
Interview
I was called in and interviewed by four employees of the organization I would be working for. They asked me about my qualifications for the specific duties listed on the job application, I was interviewing for a tutor position at an elementary school.
They asked me if I was okay getting so little money (it is a very measly pay-which I knew going in).
