If prepared--as in reading what the website relays to you about the interview questions--the interview process moves swimmingly. We are told to prepare a presentation as if we were teaching a lesson to children--it must be less than 5 minutes. Next, we are told to analyze the previously given case study, I wrote out my reaction as in a letter to the superintendent. Finally, the interviewer asks more personal questions about goals, challenges, aspirations, and why you want to join TFA. It felt more of a formal conversation than an interview. Two weeks later I received my acceptance to the Denver Corps (second choice)!

The interviewer will not give you any indication of what they are thinking throughout the interview and comes off as very cold. This is just how they are instructed to act during the interview so don't let it throw you off!
