What is the NewForce admissions team looking for?

NewForce is a 4.5 month, full-time commitment. We’re committed to training you and connecting you with employers– we want to see that you’re willing to put in some time and effort to help us get to know you! The more information you can give us, the more likely we are to catch something that we think will make you a great analyst and employee. Your answers don’t have to be perfectly written! Just give us as much detail as you can.

  • You’re good at working on a team
  • You’re good at problem-solving 
  • You’re good at teaching yourself new things
  • You’re motivated to start a career in the tech industry

If you have experiences or examples of these qualities please find a way to include them in your answers.

We read and review every application carefully, then select applicants for the virtual interview phase of the process. Those applicants will receive an e-mail invite with a brief run-down of we’ll be asking and some tips to prepare so that you can put your best foot forward.
