Job interview

So typically when people think of job interview attire they think suit, nylons, heels, clean hair... 

February 27 I had a job interview. This is what I was wearing:

*Note: I also had day old hair. It had been a shower cap morning.

The recruiting lady from the district was here at the school on a Professional Development Day (hence the tracksuit) I popped in to ask her a couple questions about my contract and found out that I would need a new screening interview because I was moving from a part time to a full time contract and I was hired after January.  

A few minutes later it was just arranged that I could have the job interview right then since she was already there.  I apologized for my lack of professional attire and she just kept telling me how happy she was that I had stopped in and how much the district would love to have me work for them next year.  So over the next 30 minutes I grabbed my file and started pulling letters of recommendation, my BYU transcript, and student teaching evaluations.  I was asked if I would rather do my interview another day so I could prepare, but I decided to just go for it.  After all if I couldn't pass a basic screening interview then I probably shouldn't be teaching!

 Thankfully it went really well and I am now in the district candidate pool for the 2009-2010 school year.  I am anxious to see where I end up teaching next year.  Principals do interviews in April! I will be sure not to wear a tracksuit and to wash my hair!
