Fresh Faced
Interviewing
Are you a fresh new teacher heading
out to interview and compete for the
best teaching job out there? Well, you
aren't alone! Be sure to follow these
tips to get ahead in this upcoming
interview season:
Research, research, research. It is 2013,
soon to be 2014, and Google is a powerful
tool. So is LinkedIn. When you are
offered an interview at a school or with
a district, politely ask for the names of
those with whom you will be meeting,
and then do everything in your power to
find more information about them. The
more armed you are with information regarding
their interests, involvement, and
what makes them tick, the more easily
you will be able to connect with them on
a personal, authentic level.

An Equal Opportunity Employer
Did you just say "personal" and "authentic?"
I sure did! It is amazing how
many teacher candidates forget to be
themselves during the interview process.
Yes, this is a lot of pressure. Yes,
you feel nervous. But, if you cannot
handle your emotions and be your great
self in an interview, how you are going
to handle your emotions and be a great
teacher with 30 children staring back at
you? Treat your interview like you treat
your classroom: teach your interviewer
about who you are, what you have accomplished,
and why you are unique.
Identify 8-10 stories that showcase you
at your best and practice telling them
to anyone who will listen. Even if it is
your dog (or cat, if you like cats!). It is one
thing to get your answers scripted on a
piece of paper; it is quite different to get
those words out of your mouth! Plus, you
don't want to end up like this. Luckily,
you've spent the last four years studying
and practicing how to effectively communicate
ideas and concepts to a group
of children. Now, use those same skills
to communicate your accomplishments,
skills, and why you are the uniquely qualified
candidate for the position.
