I applied for a Grade 7 math position, and at the close of the interview, the principal spoke to me alone and remarked that, “I was very prepared.” They reopened the search. What gives?

I would send a quick thank you for the interview and ask if they have any constructive criticism. If you aren't going to get the job, at least get as much learning experience out of it as possible. Also, by the way, I have taken part in several interview panels for new teachers. Saying someone is "prepared," at least from one of us, would probably be more akin to saying they seemed to have a complete portfolio and, perhaps, are reasonably qualified rather than saying we want you. Honestly, most of the time our interviewees would have a hard time knowing what we were thinking. Try to avoid falling into the trap of dissecting clues. We had one person who we interviewed, but then had to completely disregard because recent schedule changes meant we needed a slightly different certification. Do your best, but keep applying! You will find something great!

There a lot of considerations that should go into picking a candidate. Often times it’s more about a culture and climate fit more so than teaching ability. Education is more about relationships than it is about ABC’s

Being able to find the right fit, however, can be crucial in a school with specific challenges or featured teaching styles. I work in a Montessori school, and far too often we have teachers apply who want to give our students a bunch of worksheets and textbook assignments. I asked one interviewee for an example of an assignment to improve higher order thinking and she told me she used popcorn reading to keep kids on their toes. Not only an outdated method, but her example wasn't really what we were looking for. Obviously, she wasn't a bad teacher- she had taught at a traditional school very successfully and had done very well. She had great references. She was just a poor fit for our school. We hired a teacher with less experience, but a much higher interest in our teaching style. Right fit doesn't always equal nepotism.

Often they already have someone "in district " that they wish to hire but have to go through the process (facade) of interviewing. Many years ago this happened to me for a long term sub position for a teacher out on maternity leave. The principal told me I did not get the position, but also told me that this was a "good" thing as, you never know, that teacher might miscarry and she might have to come back early. Hand on Bible, this is what the principal said.
