Interview Tips for Teachers :
- Arriving late for an interview will cause serious damage to your chances of being hired as a teacher. Punctuality is the first rule that a good teacher must be aware of.
- As a teacher, you will be all the more expected to be an enthusiastic and cheerful personality. Keeping your enthusiasm level high and anxiety level low throughout the interview is the key to make the first long lasting impression.
- Document your achievements and related work. It will help you to illustrate your examples better with your paperwork.
- Prepare a bank of relevant information about the school. The school principles, its standards, its curriculum, student strength, extra curricular activities etc. should form a part of your research about the school. This will enable you to give specific answers and mark out your talents that cater to their needs.
- Unique answers will set you apart from rest of the applicants. Hence, try to reflect more and give concise answers.
- Based on the school and its activities, prepare a list of 4-5 relevant questions. You can thus know what to expect from the school and what is expected of you.
- Choose your attire carefully. Remember you are applying for a post of teacher. Thus, a formal yet conservative dressing style will work well.
- Pay attention to your body language. Remember that your body keeps sending non verbal signals all the time. Keep a positive attitude and a positive outlook.
- Handle difficult questions tactfully. For example, you may be asked to explain how you would tackle a class full of non co-operative children. Instead of feeling scared or nervous, calmly explain the steps you would take to arrive at a solution.
- Keep your references ready. You may be asked to produce a list of references during the interview.
With these tips and your sincere efforts, we are sure you will secure the job.
