My Mentor and another teacher were giving me advice about interviews:
Mentor: “Make sure you don’t leave it too late to apply because it will make you look like you’re not really bothered.”
Okay, got it apply as soon as possible.
Teacher: “But don’t apply too soon because it’s usually crap schools that are advertising at the moment.”
Er, so apply soon, but not before Easter, but maybe before that?
Teacher: “Try to not intimidate the pupils if you’re asked to teach a lesson. Take off your jacket, oh! And roll up your sleeves.”
Okay, roll up those sleeves, I can do that.
Mentor: “ooo, but if you do that it might seem too informal, you don’t want to give that impression when you’re being watched otherwise they’ll wonder what you’ll be like when you’re not.”
Right, roll up my jacket sleeves perhaps?
That's definitely the last time I ask for any advice.
