Typical Expectations of an Interviewing Team

What do we expect from new teachers when they are asked to interview?

• Be on time
• Dress appropriately as a professional
• Remain calm
• Have a current resume that is organized and complete
• Make sure that you have a working telephone number and it is clearly indicated
• If you are being interviewed in a school take a look around as you enter as you may want to use an observation during the interview
• If you have other information that the team requested or you chose to bring, ensure that your name is on it and it is well organized
• Have a few key points about yourself ready to insert during the interview
• Be yourself and let the team get to know you
• It is okay to have a few notes to refer to
• Helpful sometimes to bring a pen and paper into the interview
• Ask if there are time limits and/or how much time has been allotted for the interview
