Interview

I just got back from my interview. I felt I did well, but I don’t necessarily have that “nailed it” feeling that I have had after other interviews where I have gotten the job. Interviewing me were the elementary principal as well as the district curriculum director. I got the vibe that the curriculum director wasn’t into me, but that could have just been her personality, who knows. Actually, when I interviewed for my current teaching job I got the same vibe from one of the elementary principals and it turned out to be false. (Maybe that just means I am not good at reading people!) Anyway, after the building tour and then formal interview (question/answer) I had to do a writing test where I was given a scenario and I had to describe what I would do. I knew that this was going to happen and had assumed that it would be done on the computer – WRONG! They actually handed me a tablet and a pen and I had to handwrite my response. Yikes - pretty terrifying for a horrible speller like me! I tried to use “little words” that I couldn’t misspell, lol!

Thank you so much for all of the well wishes, thoughts, and prayers. I did my best and really it will come down to whether they think I am a good fit for their school or not. I am putting it in God’s hands and know that if I am supposed to get the job, then I will. They said they hope to have someone hired by the end of the month (like me, they are also on spring break next week) so I will let you all know when I hear something.
