Acting professional during interviews...

Really you shouldn't worry so much. I try to tell myself that every day. I had an interview this morning and it totally bombed. I used to teach first grade at a private school about 2-3 years ago. When I was going through| the interview process then I felt much more confident in myself and had an easier time answering questions. But today, my mind went totally blank when the principal gave me a question about language arts and how I would go about teaching it. I was not prepared, it was very early in the morning, the room was so hot and I was nervous. I was just honest with the principal and answered | |
what I could and went on. I guess I could beat myself up over and over again with this but what is the point. For a very long time I even questioned myself if I actually want to continue teaching my whole life. Now I am working in an office in the banking industry. I have learned a great deal and may stay on that career path for a while. I just know that I am not going to try for a teaching position any more this year. Maybe next year I might. I think by being prepared, knowing what is current in education today, and trying your best are crucial in a teaching interview. I may feel down now about today but I guess things could change and someday I may have my own classroom again. Hang in there.
If you ever need to talk I am here. Good luck to you.
