Do what they ask. I had an interview with like seven people—teachers, principal, etc.—and they asked me to describe my teaching in one word. They all looked at their papers with heads down, pens in hand. After a pause, I said, “Creative.” I stopped. They scribbled. Awkward long pause... Finally, the interviewers looked up and started to laugh. I was puzzled until one explained, “You’re the first person who actually said just one word! Everyone else started talking to explain themselves!”

They didn’t hire me then, but they did a few months later when the guy they hired instead walked off the job. A couple came to tell me they should have hired me first, and they remembered me for that one answer.

Stay calm, limit your conversation, stay on point, be personable but not overly friendly, be prepared to share at least one or two examples of teacher-to-student interaction.

Concentrate on preparation. Know your resume inside and out and get comfortable talking about your skills and experience. Do a mock interview with a trusted colleague and anticipate some questions that might be asked. Good luck.

When they ask if you have any questions ask about the school community or anything else about the school you want to know. Yes, they are interviewing you, but you should also be interviewing them!

So I have a felony. I interviewed with a recruiter today who was super cheerful and nice. Once I disclosed my felony, which she already knew about since a friend referred me to her, she immediately stopped the interview and said she couldn’t in good faith move forward on my application given the nature of my offense. I explained that I had done my time, paid my fines and restitution and had the experience to become a great asset to the organization. -she suggested I look into bartending.

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?
