I recently applied for a teaching position and was invited
to interview for it. I am a horrible interviewee. I need
time to digest the questions, gather my thoughts, process
them and give a thoughtful answer. Besides being nervous I
cannot come up with an intelligent answer in 10 seconds. I
have many years of teaching experience and my long-term
substitute assignments have been "Highly Effective"
(APPR's). I feel that the proof is in the pudding, as they
say. I am a good teacher and could probably teach the
socks off the other applicants. Ironically there are many
applicants who are good talkers, or BS-ers, who come out of
an interview smelling like a rose without knowing much
about anything. Can anything be done for people like me
who just do not interview well but have so much to offer a
school district?
