You thought the blazer was the preparation. It’s not. Looking confident and being prepared are not the same thing. If you don’t have your responses structured before you walk into your teacher interview, that means your organizing your thoughts for the first time in the interview. And that’s when people freeze. Confidence isn’t hype, it’s preparation. Thats why I created The Confident Teacher Interview Playbook.✨ This guide teaches teachers how to organize their thinking and respond to interview questions clearly and confidently. Inside you’ll learn: ✨how teacher interviews are structured ✨how to answer situational questions ✨how to organize your responses ✨how to communicate your experience effectively If you have a teacher interview coming up, this guide will help you feel prepared. Comment “CONFIDENT” below and I’ll send it your way. AP

How to prep for an interview in under 1 hour ✅ Send yourself this post so you don’t lose it. 1️⃣ (10 min) Do a gap analysis: Copy the job description from the advert and paste into a google doc. Form there highlights the bullet points you have (blue) vs don’t have (red) from the job description. Under each one of the ones you have, add examples when you showed those skills (ex: managed an event). For the ones you don’t have, add anything that could complement that skill. 2️⃣ (10 min) Research the company: Don’t just skim the website - dig deeper. Use ChatGPT or Perplexity with a prompt like: “I’m interviewing for [Company] for a [Role]. Tell me everything I need to know for the interview. What are the top priorities and challenges for [Company] in 2025?” Look for product launches, leadership updates, recent news, and how they make money. Show you understand their world. 3️⃣(10 min) Find the likely questions: Head to Glassdoor and look for real interview questions from that company. Then put together in a doc the 10 most common behavioral questions to start preparing for them (like: Tell me about a time you failed). Pro tip: Don’t memorize - just prepare one story you can flex across a few questions. 4️⃣ (20 min) Practice your answers: For behavioral interview questions use STARL: Situation, Task, Action, Result - and what you Learned. To prepare, use tools like Google Interview Warmup or ChatGPT to test your answers. Prompt idea: “Give me feedback on this answer using the STARL method. Here’s the question and here’s my answer…” 5️⃣ (10 min) Prep 3–5 smart questions to ask them: Asking food questions is key. Aim for: 2 role-specific (show you understand the day-to-day). 2 company-specific (prove you did your research). This is your chance to show you’re not just job hunting - you’re intentional. You got this 💪 🔥If you want a cheat sheet to prepare for interviews, just comment INTERVIEW below 😉 #jobapplication #jobsearch #jobhunt #jobopportunity #interviewtips #interviewquestions #interviewprep #interview #bigtech #jobseeker

Teacher interview tips part 3! Make sure you ask good questions at the end of your interview! Save any questions about salary, benefits, and vacation days for when and if you’re offered the job. Instead use this as an opportunity to really find if this is the right school for YOU! Here are 3 questions I would make sure I asked at the end of my teacher interview: 1. The last couple years have been difficult for everyone I’m education. What does your school to do support teachers? 2. To the principal or administrator “What does your definition of success look like for this role. What does a successful year look like to you when it comes to teaching.” 3. Ask everyone at the table, “What do YOU love about your school?” Any other must ask questions? Let me know below and don’t forget to tag a teacher who is interviewing right now!
