Interviews

Are all applicants interviewed for AVODAH?

After reviewing all applications submitted by the deadline, AVODAH will contact qualified applicants for an interview.

 

Will I be interviewing for all cities?

All candidates are interviewed for the AVODAH program, although you will be considered initially for one of your top city choices. You will have a chance to discuss your preference during the interview, and at that time you can indicate if you want to be considered for a different city.

 

When will interviews take place?

To be considered for the first matching round, you will be interviewed between mid-late February and early March. Applicants who submit their application after the deadline will be interviewed on an as needed basis.

 

Will I have a phone or in-person interview?

The vast majority of our applicants interview over the phone. If you are able to come to one of our offices in Chicago, New Orleans, New York City, or Washington, DC, please contact our Recruitment Coordinator, Mollie Spevack at apply@avodah.net so she can schedule an in-person interview.

How long will my interview last?

A typical interview lasts about an hour.

I have special circumstances AVODAH should know about. Who do I tell?

Please alert your interviewer to any special circumstances that will affect your potential participation in AVODAH. These might include factors that would limit full participation during the AVODAH year, being out of the country during the matching round, specific needs or preferences that may pose challenges during the AVODAH year, etc.
