Interview Update

Soooo..... last time I updated this I had already had my 15 minute skype interview.

I felt that it went well. The school principal who interviewed me was very nice and made me feel very relaxed. They were very basic questions that I didn't have any issues with and I felt good about it.

Well, I DID hear back from them the next day that I got a SECOND interview.

It was on... Tuesday the 5th. It was more like a "traditional" interview I suppose. It was a half-hour long (on skype once again) and was with the principal and also the assistant principal.

After it was over I just sat there in my interview spot for a minute (aka: my kitchen table) because it was hard. I didn't feel like it went really well or anything, I didn't know WHAT to think. ha. except that "Man that was hard..."
( they asked me a handful of questions and also scenarios)

I was a tad frustrated because the bulk of the questions they asked me were not questions that I practiced.
Meaning, I really had to THINK about some of them before I answered.
It felt like the longest times ever that I was sitting awkwardly thoughtfully  in silence trying to piece together my answers before I spoke. And even after thinking I still felt like they came out a little garbled because I hadn't practiced saying them out loud.

BUT regardless, I heard back again! (to my delight and surprise...)

I had a THIRD round of interview that same week- Thursday, Feb 7th. This time it was with the 4th grade teachers.
(The positions available are for K and 4th. ) I was feeling so sick about it before my interview.

Thoughts running through my head like:
Should I even practice again..?? (I really didn't much)
Holy POOP, can I reallyy move away if I get this?
and ...God, wait. Are you SURE about this? Because I don't think I am.

It was very laid back. and I felt surprisingly calm and very at peace throughout the interview and also afterwards.
There were three women (the three who I would be teaching with). One talked way more than the others, but they each asked me at least a couple of questions. They were very nice and I felt like I had good answers to each of their questions (Whether I did in reality or not, who knows) The whole thing lasted about 20 minutes and at the end they told me..."Okay, we'll talk to our principal and she'll talk to you...as soon as we talk to her."

That was on Thursday. I was hoping that I would hear back on Friday, if we were following the normal pattern that had begun, but no such luck. So...it's Sunday and I'm still waiting to hear.

I would love to hear just ANYthing. Whether I got it or not. So hopefully they will be kind enough to let me know either way.

I'm praying that whichever way it goes, that it will be God's leading and that I will be okay with it.

I'll possibly post more details about the job later. Or news if I hear any.

If nothing else at least I can say I'm a skpe interview expert now. Or veteran, if you will.
