I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AmeriCorps (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2017
Interview
Had initial interview with Site Director. After the first interview with the Site Director, I was invited to interview with the interested sites that she passed along my resume to. With the individual sites, I had initial phone screening interviews that were followed up by Skype interviews. The entire process (interviewing with the Site Director and site supervisors) took around 1 and a half months.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did you choose this SN program specifically? Why not a City Year or AmeriCorps NCCC program?
The interview was fairly easy. I didn't have any issues and the interviewers were kind. It was a multi-stage interview that included a remote inter-view, and in-person interview with a site visit.
Three-step interview. First phone interview, pretty informative. Then in person interview, this was the standard type interview. Finally, an interview at the site. They were all pretty standard, question wise. Overall, not too bad.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AmeriCorps
Interview
There were 2 interviews, the first with the americorps program and then with the site leaders. Pretty straight forward conversation about life goals, why you want to do the program, what you hope to get out of it, previous experiences and skills, ect. The second interview was more specific to the organization I worked with-- an overview of their organization, the expectations and my skills.
