    Hi,

    You'll be fine prepare over the next couple of days. I had my interview a couple of weeks ago and these were the questions I was asked.

    Challenges in the classroom
    An inspirational teacher
    What you know about the Hibernia course
    How would you encourage students to take on your subject for leaving cert
    Challenges on placement
    Conflict with a colleague
    The junior cycle reform
    Why do you want to become a teacher
    What type of teacher would you like to be
    do you feel you might lack knowledge in other areas of the curriculum?

    Do a PowerPoint presentation, around 2-3 slides long and present as if you were teaching a class. Share your screen on zoom when you are presenting.

    Hope this helps. Best of luck with the interview. Any other questions let me know!

    Is it a PowerPoint presentation on say something like the famine, and pretend the interviewers are students kind of thing? Tbh, this is what I'm most nervous about!

    Sorry only seeing this now! Yes starting in September.

    Yeah the presentation sounds perfect, direct it at either junior or senior cycle and state what year eg. 2nd years Junior cycle.

    Keep the presentation clear and concise information (don't make it text heavy) and practice presenting it a couple of times.

    Hope this message got to you before the interview.

    I got my interview outcome 9 working days after the interview, hope you're not waiting too long!

    Just had the 3 minute presentation regarding my subjects, they didn't ask any subject specific question.

    Are you interviewing to start in September too? 😊
