From Prep to Shine: Your Complete Interview Checklist

Congratulations on securing your interview! This is your opportunity to showcase not only your skills but also your passion for education. A successful interview is a two-way conversation built on preparation and professionalism. Here’s your complete guide to making a lasting positive impression.

1. Prepare with Purpose: Research and Reflect

A standout candidate comes prepared. Take time to review the school’s profile and think about how your teaching philosophy aligns with their needs. Being ready to discuss your experiences and connect them to the role demonstrates genuine interest and initiative.

2. Manage Your Image: Present Yourself Professionally

Your appearance and environment speak before you do. Dress neatly and ensure your background is tidy and neutral. Sit up straight, maintain eye contact, and avoid distracting mannerisms. A professional setup signals that you take this opportunity seriously.
3. Set the Stage: Optimize Your Tech and Space

Test your internet, camera, and microphone in advance. Choose a quiet, well-lit location where you won’t be interrupted. Position your camera at eye level to create a natural and engaging connection with your interviewers.

4. Be Punctual: Respect Their Time

Joining the call on time is a non-negotiable mark of professionalism. If you anticipate being late, notify us as early as possible. Punctuality reflects your reliability and respect for the school’s schedule.

5. Confirm Key Details: Clarity Before Commitment

Ensure you understand the salary range and key role details before the interview. Accepting an interview for a position that doesn’t meet your core expectations is not a productive step for anyone involved.

6. Shine in Your Demo: Embrace the Opportunity

View a demo lesson as your chance to stand out, not as a hurdle. Always ask for the topic, student age group, and duration in advance. Prepare a short, engaging, and interactive activity that clearly demonstrates your teaching style and creativity.

7. Engage as a Partner: It’s a Two-Way Conversation

5. Confirm Key

Details: Clarity Before Commitment

An interview is a dialogue, not an interrogation. Come prepared with thoughtful questions about the school’s culture, support for teachers, or educational philosophy. This shows you are evaluating them as a potential long-term professional home.

You've got this! We wish you the very best of luck and are here to support you.
