The phone interview was yesterday, and I just got the call for the face-to-face!!! It'll be tomorrow morning, so I've got this evening to plan out my "typical interview question" answers. wOOt!! Oh, and I also went into the SD School District office and passed the Word/Excel tests, so now I just need to be interviewed to go into their candidate

Go you!!!! You're gonna rock it. Are you applying for something in the school district too?

-biggest challenge in life/last job
-biggest accomplishment in life/last job
-most fun experience with Sarah
-a challenging coworker and how you made the relationship work
-how you doin'?
-favorite project you've worked on and why
-and the ever popular and always stupid "what's your biggest weakness?"

The school district is for a supervising administrative assistant, but they have this whole "pre-qualification" process to go through to just get in their pool, and then once a job opens up (which there currently isn't), you're already ahead of the game....or something like that.

yeah, schools take a while to break into, but once you're in, you've got stability. you can move around to different jobs and different schools easily, and you know that the industry isn't going anywhere. it certainly doesn't hurt to get the process started!

Why are you interested in the position?
What is your greatest strength/weakness?
What did you like best/worst about your previous jobs?
What the heck do you do with pyrotechnics? (I always list this on my resume and end up spending half the interview talking about fireworks:)

Good luck!

woohoo!

- Give me an example of when you were given competing priorities/projects from different people and how did you handle it?

- How do you deal with with high stress situations?

I think most of the ones I had in mind have been mentioned.

* Where do you see yourself in a year/five years/etc?
* Why are you interested in this position or what makes you a good fit for this position?
* How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
