Interview Tomorrow - Help !

TashaMonster

Have been subbing in a new school for the last week, and the Principal rang me this evening and told me that they have maternity leave coming up, he noticed I hadn't applied (it was advertised during the summer but I missed it somehow) he said if I was interested I could come for an interview TOMORROW. I'm in a major panic now, freaking out big time. I spent the last 2 years in a school (covering sick leave) that luckily I only had to do a very casual interview for, more of a chat really and the thought of having to do an interview now is making me feel sick.

2 years ago just before I got my last job I had the worst experience at an interview, it consisted of 3 people on a major power trip who got their kick asking nonsense questions, I came out've that a wreck and now I realise its ruined my confidence in relation to interviews.

Thinking about walking into another interview room tomorrow is making me feel physically sick, my mind is blank, I cant even think of any questions they'll ask me never mind come up with logical answers. Someone please help me, I feel like I'm about to mess up my one chance of getting some regular work this year

This is exactly why it's worth taking and sticking with the few hours subbing. If the school like what they see and a maternity or sickness leave comes up, it's 'better the devil you know'.

Congrats on the job, let's hope other teachers in your subject area catch the 'pregnant'.
