Interview Time

As graduation thoughts arise, I have been finding ways to get experience interviewing for positions in a school district. Recently I had the opportunity to sit down with a few administrators to have a semi-informal interview. 

I had visited that school for the duration of the morning talking to the current agricultural teachers and other teachers in the building. I was able to get a feel for the school culture and environment through those experiences. After visiting with a few teachers in the building, I had the opportunity to sit down with the administration.

During our conversation, I was asked a few questions which are below;

• What are your hobbies?
• Would you be interested in working in this district?
• What drew you to this position/place?
• What other interests do you have besides agriculture?

They had also given me time to ask a few questions which are below;

• Where do you see this program in five years?
• What opportunities would I have here?

I had asked other questions to the teachers I had met with as well throughout the morning. One thing that I took away from my visit to the school is that the administration cares about the success of not only their students but also their teachers. The school is a close-knit community that thrives on collaboration.

Looking into the future, I would research more about the school as well as have conversations with the teachers in the school before having an interview with the administration.
