The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at City Year (Washington, DC) in Jun 2010
Interview
I had two phone interviews with two different interviewers. The first one takes about 15 min and the second takes 30-45 min. The interviewers tell you this at the beginning. The interview itself is by no means a conversation. It's very straight forward and they type everything you say into their computer (you can hear them). I would recommend brainstorming some answers to some interview questions before the interview (e.g., what are your strengths/weaknesses). I did this and it helped. Also, because it is a phone interview and they can't see you, keep your resume and anything else you think might help in front of you. Someone suggested I do this, and I'm really glad I had it out because I did have to refer to it during the interview.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
How would you want children to describe you and what steps would you take to accomplish this?
Very simple. Quick virtual interview and pretty simple questions. Research their values and what not and you should be good to go. As far as I remember it was a single interview and decision is relatively soon after that.
Really friendly and welcoming. Try to make it as comfortable as possible and share about the work they do. They want to ensure applicants are making the right decisions and that they assess the values.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at City Year
Interview
Done over zoom and not an overly long process interviews are usually conducted by the IM for a school in the city you are applying for but if you have a pulse you should be fine
