I Have Got A Teaching Assistant Interview

[myafai]

i have received a letter stating that i have got an interview on 10 june.

i am really really really really nervous about it and really scared. they said that i need to do an unseen task before the interview and i really want this job but i don't know what questions they're gonna ask and i get really nervous to answer.:weepy:

try to find out about the schools values. Do they have a school motto? What age will you work with? They will probably ask you about your experience and training. What your aims are for the job? By the way what is an unseen task?

brilliant news, well done on the first step xx

Deep breath before answering anything, there's no race in getting out the quickest reply and the unseen task again enjoy .. be yourself and go slowly.
Look forward to hearing how it goes xx

Wish you loads of luck

Hi

well done for getting an interview.
i would like somebody else has said before research the school via internet or if you know someone who knows about the school, look at their ofsted report to see what their strenghts and weaknesses are (if any) this may enable you to put across how you can help them be better within their weaknesses or help them with their strenghts, you may want to better yourself with courses that would benefit the school. From the ofsted you should be able to see the age range of the children, how many classes etc. Be on time even a little earlier so that you could have a sneaky peek around the foyer look at displays etc talk in interview about displays you have seen

Hope it helps a little

Brilliant news :) I cant add any more really but do have a peek at the school website and get to grips with their ethos and mission aim. I wish you all the luck in the world x
