First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Reading Partners.
Program Coordinator
The senior americorp interview is pretty simple. It's a one hour meeting with leadership where they ask typical questions. Then they talk about next year's stipend and ask if you have any questions for them.
- How do you plan to be adaptable in the coming year?
Site Coordinator
It was a really friendly interview process. The HR rep was super communicative and always on time. This was for an AmeriCorps position way back in 2015. First, there were some video questions you had to do (don't stress about them, just take a breath, smile, and look at your screen's camera so it looks like you're making eye contact). Then, there were a couple of in-person interviews with the Program Managers (there were 2 or 3 of them), and they were all really nice. The whole thing took about a month, so make sure you check your emails regularly and don't overthink all the people they CC you on.
- Given a scenario, you had to write an email to a tutor who made a mistake and needed correction.
Site Coordinator
I talked with two staff members. They asked me a lot of character and scenario questions. They also asked about my previous experience with non-profits, teams, students, and school partners. The whole thing was very casual.
- Can you tell me about a time you had a conflict with a coworker and how you handled it?
