Interviewing

The interview porcess is integral is finding a teaching job this day and age. 

Numerous hopefuls apply and the fact that you made the interviews is big.  But the interview is bigger.  Most districts hold at least two rounds.  The first interview is important, its the first impression they will continually refer to. 

First things first, relax! You should be nervous, but don't show it, many interviewers see it as a sign of weakness.  They will often stay quiet at the end of a questions and allow you to nervouse talk yourself out of a job.  They learn that tactic when going through training.  Be aware.  When your answer is suitible, stop, they will eventually move on.  Be confident in your answers and in yourself. 

Be professional, but smile and show your personality.  It is the only thing that sets you apart.  On paper we all look the same! 

I will continue at a different time with common interview questions and the ever dreaded waiting game.
