I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Achievement First
Interview
The interview process for Achievement First was very thorough. The process began with a phone call from a recruiter who mainly gauged my interest in the program, gave me more details about the job and asked questions of me to see if I would be a good fit. This part of the process was very beneficial to me because I initially applied for a different position but after this conversation we both realized that I would be better fit in a different, and in my opinion better position. Then I had a phone interview with another member of the recruitment team which was very comprehensive. The interview consisted of a lot of give and take which I really loved because I learned just as much about Achievement First as they learned about me and by the time that I was offered a finalist interview, I was already pretty much sold on the culture. A few days before my finalist interview, that same recruiter reached out to me to see if I had any questions and just to help prepare me for what to expect in the interview. This made me feel set up for success and confident going into the final interview. The final interview consisted of a teaching demonstration and some question/answer with a recruiter and the principal. Overall, I was very impressed with the interview process. It was a good feeling to feel desired as a potential employee, and that is something that I have never experienced before.

It was an average teacher interview review your résumé go over your lesson demo and then that's when they decide if they're going to offer you an offer letter
Phone call and then an in person demo lesson with real students and in the moment feedback. Usually a reading lesson or science lesson. Be ready to implement feedback in the moment and take direction from leadership
