Tomorrow, I have my first interview for a full-time English teacher position at a high school at noon. I am so nervous! My email has been on the fritz, so they didn't get my first message; luckily, they got my second message today! I worry about my qualifications and whether or not they will want to hire me because I lack formal experience. I have to be confident, and I will be! I did buy a suit the other day... perhaps I'll post pictures if I have time. If I get the position, I'm going to have to move because it's an hour away from my house (so, Rutgers people, good news for you!)... I'm so nervous! But I have good ideas. I will just have to show them.
In any case, prayers would be really, really, really appreciated. This is my first chance to show the world that I CAN be a great teacher.
GO AMELIA!!! We will be rooting for you! Remember you will be interviewing them too! And you do have tutoring experience - don't play that down.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!! I am going to play up as much as I can! At least I can tell them that I took the PRAXIS II already (even though the scores aren't available yet) and that I do know a lot of resources for the classroom. I wrote this post when I was in a tizzy of excitement, so I'm not sure if it sounds anything more than crazed.
