The Interview Before
the Interview
Often we think a job interview consists of the
answers given to a series of questions from
a committee or building administrator. There
is an interview that happens even before you
walk into the conference room or office that
too often candidates overlook. The impressions
you make on the students and office
staff can impact the decision as to whether or
not a candidate is a good fit for a school. Being
personable, approachable and aware of
those in the room is an indicator of the presence
you will have in the school community.
I recall an interviewee at my school that was
somewhat standoffish with the office staff,
did not speak to the maintenance personnel
and barely addressed the principal when
he came in dressed casually. Her demeanor
completely changed when she was introduced
to him as the principal and one who
would be interviewing her. Unfortunately, her
previous interactions with him and his staff
spoke volumes and thus cost her the position.
Conversely your willingness to take the
time to acknowledge the office staff, remain
approachable with students who may be in
the office and connect with others are good
indicators that you have those "people" skills
which will translate into positive interactions
with parents, students and other staff members.
Think about the best customer service
experience you have had and what made
it so. What did you learn from that experience
that you will take into your classroom,
into your interactions with parents and into
your interactions with other staff members?
Remember, ours is a customer service profession.
Let all aspects of the interview experience
reflect this...
