Prospective teachers-helpful hints


      Prospective teachers this summer are calling to inquire, sending their resumes, and approaching our doors to inquire about available teaching positions.  Applicants! Please know this. We want to hire you!
Now, it is up to you to prove that you desire/deserve to be hired.  We know that your are nervous. It is completely natural to be nervous in your first job interview. Please look through the tips and resources below

     Some helpful interview tips from tonight's #ntchat

Megan van Deventer @megvandev suggested  writing down your teaching strengths & weaknesses... memories, words or specific accolades so you don't forget under pressure.
Sit up & sit forward, be engaged in the conversation. Make appropriate eye contact with everyone in the room.

r suggests if there is a student and/or a parent in the interview, ALWAYS ask them about there perspective on the year and hopes for next.


s not all interviews have people with nametags. I write names down and refer to them by name when responding.
