I was looking for a teaching job and my odds to get “the job”felt like winning the lotery sometimes in today’s economy, the competition is fierce and this would be my first teaching job= no experience. With that in mind, I read every possible blog and website about interviewing, and right before I walked out to go to THE INTERVIEW, I came across this blog. We all know the obvious : don’t curse, dress nice, don’t chew gum… etc. but I did exactly what this article is about: go beyond the job description. I had a portfolio with drawings that I have made, since my background is in design, I told them that I was interested in enrichment activities after school such as art, or chess and I had a management plan in place for the classroom…and smiled, smiled and smiled. I didn’t even talked about my nonexistent teaching experience, ( they were aware of that, and they called me for an interview anyway). One week later, I got the job. It was my first and only interview ,when I was mentally prepared to interview at at least 5 schools, wich is what I’ve heard from other people in my situation. All because of the JOB BORED, so if I didn’t say it before: THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! I just wanted to write a big THANK YOU to the person that wrote this.

The whole interview was 2 1/2 hours. They gave me an application to fill out and fax to HR dept., which i did. My question is: do i call the HR department now to see if they got it? I'm not sure what my next step is...They also gave me a medical form, since I work with clients, I need to get that filled out....do I call my doctor and schedule that appointment....I didn't get an exact answer on if I got the job; so I'm not really sure where I stand....
