You are in a room with seven to twelve different people at one time. From the principal, vice principal, curriculum planner, and co-teachers within the same grade that you are interviewing for. Everyone asks you multiple questions but at different times. Talk about nerve-wracking.

Question 1
Too many questions with too much information attached.
This interview was well organized, professional and inviting.
This was a panel/team format interview.
I met with a team of 7 administrators and teachers from various schools in the district. I provided several copies of my resume for review by the panel members. They interviewers each had a copy of a pre-determined list of questions. They alternated acting as voice and team members took notes on each question/answer. All of the questions were appropriate and applicable to the position being interviewed for, focusing on my experience, education, specific skill-set, mindset and interests. The interview lasted approximately 20 minutes after which I was invited to a one-on-one interview with another administrator in which I was able to elaborate a bit further on my personal background and qualifications and ask additional questions regarding the goals and objective focus of the school district, etc.
All in all, this was a very positive interview experience.
