First Interview
I just had my first classroom teacher job interview EVER today. And I really hope I didn't choke as bad as I felt like I did.
The mini interviews at the job fairs were casual chats compared to this. I was in a room with the principal, vice principal (who I knew! You'd think that would take some stress off!), and two literacy coaches, and they asked some pretty tough questions. Made all the tougher by the fact that my brain was going, "Literacy? Design your own block? What? I can't...I don't remember..." even though I am PERFECTLY CAPABLE of doing it. I was so nervous, my mouth went dry and I was sweating so bad...
I just hope it went well. I have such a pit in my stomach. It doesn't help that I didn't have a lot of time to review interview questions and come up with my own beforehand, since I just got the message about the interview Tuesday night at 6, then Wednesday night was work then softball then trying to hook the damn printer up to this computer via wireless because none of the other printers had ink...then the computer it's HOOKED to wouldn't even work...I was up till midnight just printing resume's!!
Sorry, that's a lot of complaining. My brain is so addled right now with the thought that I probably embarrassed myself that I can't even think straight.
