I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AmeriCorps (Denver, CO) in May 2015
Interview
I applied via the AmeriCorps website. My app was sent to organizations I selected. I didn't apply for specific positions, just for specific organizations. The organizations then contacted me for an interview, which I set up directly with them. They decided which position(s) I would be a good fit for, and sent my app on to the direct reports for those positions for a second round of interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's your spirit animal? Tell me about yourself. Tell me about a time you had a challenge at work. Tell me about a time you had to be flexible/adaptable at work. What experience do you have in education/health?
Very easy and quick. Questions assessed my personality and goals, as well as my weaknesses. I should’ve asked more questions but aside from that I could tell she was impressed with me and was welcoming of questions.
The interview process was held over zoom, it was very speedy, comprehensive and enjoyable. I'd say they it was a very low stress interview in comparison to most interviews with big organizations.
