Interview..please pray for me! * Added a question* UPDATE**

I actually got a call today (while in a noisy nail salon)Chat Icon For an interview!! Great district and close to home!

I haven't been on an interview in years and I'm so scared. I was totally not expecting this since I mailed the school my resume 3 months ago..and...it's my old 2 page resume they have!

Please pray for me. I could hardly hear her..I don't know for what grade (she didn't say). I have no idea what to prepare for.

Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Any advice would be appreciated!!

Thank you all so much!

Edited for spelling. Hope I didn't miss anything else lol!

Sorry to be annoying but I have a question that I hope someone can help me with.
I received the phone call while in the nail salon so I could hardly hear the person on the other end. I didn't ask if I should bring my resume or for what grade the interview is for.
I tried to call the school many times but they just have a recording (press one for busses, press 2 for nurse etc).

Should I bring my resume (they have my old one and I don't have that one anymore..just have my updated one)
Should I bring some lessons I have taught in Kindergarten. Not a portfolio because I don't have that, but I do have lessons I did with students such as a class book etc.
Thank you for all your help!!


8/6 Update.

I just came back. The interview was less than 10 minutes. I interviewed for a K position. It was with the Principal and Parent Coordinator (both very nice).
She mentioned that she had 10 resumes to look at and two women interviewed before me (I saw them).
She asked me if I like Kindergarten and what I do on the first day of school.
She asked if I resigned from the Catholic school I teach at. I told her no but I always wanted to teach in Public school because there is no set curriculum in catholic school (something like that) and because so many of them are closing, there is no stability. Also mentioned that I grew up in the district and went to public school.


I should find out by the end of this week or beginning of next. I'm so nervous..i hope i did okay! Chat Icon

UPDATE#2..Didn't get the job.. oh well, life goes on. Chat Icon

Re: Interview..please pray for me!

Thanks everyone..I'll keep you updated. The interview is Wednesday.
I honestly feel like it's too good to be true but we'll see. At least I have a few days to prepare a little.

Definitely bring an updated resume, and several copies of it at that. You don't know how many people you will be interviewing in front of. I would bring the lesson plans in case they ask for something, I have never been asked to have my portfolio looked at, but I ALWAYS take it with me because you never know! Good luck!Chat Icon

ITA. Even if the lessons are not for the right grade level, the will still give the panel an idea of how you teach.

Best of luck!!

DEFInitely bring the most updated copy of your resume (i would being a few copies) and any supporting materials like lesson plans or a portfolio. they might not ask to look at it, but at least you have to refer to during the interview if you want, or give to them if they ask.
