I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AmeriCorps (Vicksburg, MS) in Oct 2014
Interview
The Unit Leader interviewing you will make sure that you fully understand what you're getting yourself into, and that's really important in the team leader role. You'll be asked a few questions by a couple different staff members consisting of several things you'll face daily as a team leader. The interview will be conducted via phone. I only had one interview, but some of my coworkers had up to three. You should know pretty quickly following the conclusion of the interview whether or not you're hired.
