Tip #6: Interview, Interview, Interview

If you’re like me, you might find that job interviews cause a lot of stress and anxiety, especially when you’re applying for a job that may not actually exist yet!

When I was taking the steps to land my dream job, I interviewed a lot, and got rejected a lot. But I took notes. I listened carefully to what school administrators had to say, what their concerns were, what questions they asked. Most of the time, those questions and concerns were exactly the same as ones I’d heard from other school administrators.

I learned to expect them. I prepared for them. I learned what principal’s valued in teachers, the concerns they had, and I made sure to emphasize my strengths, and speak to those needs specifically. 

After three or four interviews, I walked in prepared and feeling confident. There were no curveballs. I had clear and concise answers to their questions and concerns, because I’d anticipated them. Eventually, this preparation paid off, and I found a principal who believed in me and what I had to offer. 

If I can find it, you can too. 

Tip Takeaway: Before your first interview, brainstorm some questions you think school administrators might ask you, and prepare clear and concise answers to these questions. As you begin the interview process, take notes on the actual questions principals ask, so you can learn exactly what concerns you need to address right off the bat.
