Interviewing for teachers

An integral part of the job search process is the job interview. For most teacher candidates, job interviews can cause butterflies in the stomach and sweaty palms. Being prepared and paying attention to details can alleviate the nerves and greatly contribute to a successful interview. Practice is also an essential component of preparing for the interview.
