First Interview


Last week I was called for my first interview. I had my interview the next day and the next morning I
 received an email letting me know I was not moving on in the interview process. Three days and it was over. I wrote a thank you to the school for their time and I started filling out new applications.

I have read several blogs on how to prepare yourself for interviews. I've gone through dozens of “best answers to interview questions” and “key words to use to get you the job” posts but never read a single thing on what do if they didn't hire me. So I made a little list for myself and those of you who are also still searching.

Thank the people you interviewed with, as well as everyone rooting for you.

Stay positive

Fix what you felt could be better

Get as much feedback as you can

Fill out another application for every rejection you get

Remember it doesn't mean you are a bad teacher, maybe just not what they need at the moment

The best thing about this interview was finally crossing "teacher interview" off my bucket list and my friend gave me a new affirmation that goes so well with my blog.
“You are already a teacher. You just need a class.”

And find a class I shall.
