INTERVIEW!!!

flygirl813126 · 03-17-2005, 05:29 AM

After the wedding Iw ill be moving down to Champaign-Urbana since John still has a bit of school left. This has really worried me about work, since I have no professional contacts down there at all. Well yesterday I got a return call from the Superintendent of a rural district down there to set up an interview. So now I will be heading down central Illinois on Tuesday to interview for a teachign position. I am really excited, and super nervous.

Do you need sample interview questions or are you ok? If you do, what is the exact position--teaching anything specific, age group, etc.?

I am interviewing for a fourth grade elementary position and a middle school language arts position. Any potential questions you know of I would definitely appreciate. They said to expect about an hour and a half for the interview, and that it will be videotaped [img]images/graemlins/speechless-smiley-040.gif[/img]

how exciting!!! good luck with the interview.

best thing to remember is to just be yourself and ask all the questions you can because that's how the interviewer will know your really interested in the job.

So I had the interview on Tuesday...it ended up taking like 3 hours. At the end of it one of the guys asked me why I was selling books and not teaching yet, which I took as a good sign (along with the fact that it took so long.) They asked me to return to th eloby for a few minutes, then they came back and got me and offered me the job. So I must say it is a major relief. I have a full tiem permanent teaching position starting in August, so I will not have to worry about being able to afford a place to live. And DH2B and I may even be able to support his flying habit(ok so its more but I was amusing myself) fairly significantly. (now if we could just add some more multi time to his totals we would really be on a roll.
