Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was very easy and quick. It involved questions about my personality and goals, as well as my weaknesses. I should have asked more questions, but I could tell she was impressed with me and was welcoming of questions.

It wasn’t complicated at all; you just fill out the online application. Then, you’ll get a call in about a week or two. The phone interview is pretty standard. Don’t be scared to ask questions, even oddly specific ones, it’ll help you stand out.

It was a super easy and direct process. The interviewers were really nice and charismatic, which totally put me at ease and made me even more interested in working with Americorps. It was just one Zoom interview, and then I got a formal offer.
