Do you need to brush up on your interview skills? Prepare for an upcoming job interview to get a teaching job offer by preparing answers to questions to have a better conversation during the meeting.
It is best to practice with someone – a spouse, a friend, a colleague, or a career coach.
The person you select will be an invaluable resource for your interview preparation if they provide helpful feedback. To be productive, they need to offer an honest opinion of your interview skills, interviewing technique, and overall performance.
Interview Skills – Improving Weak Areas
Ask your career coach key questions about your mock interview performance, such as:
Did I…
look nervous?
Come across with a clear, concise, and understandable (did I speak too slow or too fast)?
Make good eye contact?
Project my voice to show personality and passion?
Seem friendly, accommodating, and pleasant?
Seem knowledgeable and current on the teaching or education topics presented?
Once they provide you with information regarding these critical questions, you will improve the weak areas regarding your interview skills. Strengthening your overall interview proficiency each day is a goal to work towards to achieve success.
Another excellent method to improve your interviewing technique is to video a mock interview. Practice and practice to perfect your delivery.
Watching yourself on video is an excellent way to identify what you do well and what areas need improvement. Reviewing your performance may alert you to any odd interview habits you have, like fidgeting, nervous giggle, rambling, and providing brief answers that you can work on avoiding.
