2 weeks

Tuesday, July 22, 2014

School starts in a little over 2 weeks (I can hear all the parents applauding now) lol. I have went on several interviews for a teaching position over the summer. None of which resulted in a job. However, there is one school that is my dream job, its the one I have known I wanted to work at since I graduated college. I have applied for several positions at the school but haven't gotten an interview. Yesterday, that dream job called me and I have an interview this afternoon. I believe there are three other candidates applying and mine is the last interview.

Before all of my other interviews I have been extremely nervous and unsure of myself. This time feels different, this time I am excited. This is where I want to be and I am looking forward to the interview. I interned at this school and I absolutely love it. I know most of the staff and they already feel like family. The woman that called me formally for the interview actually texted me later last night with some tips. (I taught her daughter at my last job).

Today I will be refreshing over my classroom management and reading lessons. I have no doubt in my mind that I am going to rock this interview. I really don't want to get my hopes up though because like I said THIS is my dream job at my dream school and I really want to shine and get this job.

Any positive thoughts you can send my way would be much appreciated.

I don't know what I have done wrong in my interviews in the past other than I was super nervous that has to be my downfall because I dont exude confidence. Today I am going to try and change that, I KNOW I am a good teacher and I KNOW I am a perfect fit for the job, but I've got to make others know it too.

Here's to this NOT being me today!

  9. Nervousness can mess up any and everything! Being excited will be the best tool you can use because your excitement will come through in the interview. The great part is that you interned there so you may feel more comfortable during the interview than in the past.

    Also, a HUGE HUGE deal is that the person texted you with tips!!!!!! How exciting. I will send some positivity your way. Also, I love your blog so I have nominated you for the Liebster Award. Check it out:

  13. Just a grammar tip... it's "I have gone" not "I have went."
