How to succeed at interview?

spurious

The interview that I did for the job that would become my career, started not so well. For some reason, I was expecting a much larger room behind the interview door, got a bit of a surprise that it was so narrow and small and half -tripped over the leg of a chair as i went in the door. 'That'll be the drink' I said and they laughed. It seemed to do the trick. At least one of them told me later that was when I got the job for him, as he knew I'd fit right in with our little beleaguered group in a tumbly down, forgotten, 'failing' inner city school.

I wouldn't bring any resources with me personally - I never bring more than a small handbag as I would be afraid of fumbling at the end of the interview and leaving a bad impression. I think it would be better to have two or three in mind that can be mentioned as examples. 'With an unmotivated class I would use my Heaney snap cards to lead into a lesson. I have used these with Fifth Years and they really engaged with the poetry afterwards.'
One method of practising answers that I have found very good is quick fire questions in the car. because you are focusing on the road, this naturally means that you won't waffle. You could also go for a walk with a friend and you have to answer the question before you get to the next lamppost.

Basic one.... do a vocal warm up in the car before going in to avoid throat drying up.
