Tell Me About Yourself? | What To Say During A Teaching Interview | First Year Teacher

Hey everyone! In this video I talk about what to say when whoever is interviewing you tells you to tell them about yourself. I really hope this video helped you with your response! You can watch my other video about interviewing tips if you want a more in detail video about other kinds of questions (I will link it below). Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks! :)
Interviewing tips:
• Get Hired as a Teacher...

[@johnharrison9685]

You answered all the questions for the interview in this one answer. You answered what is your teaching philosophy and a bit of classroom management. Basically “tell me about yourself” means to talk about your professional and student experience in education.

[@poppy9830]

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding your comment, but I am basically just giving a little bit of background of my experience in teaching. I do not go in depth at all. This prompts whoever is interviewing to ask questions such as, "You said you took over for a teacher on maternity leave, can you tell us more about that?" Or, "You mentioned that your internship gave you experience in classroom management, can you tell us some strategies you used to keep control of the class?" Yes I mention my teaching philosophy and classroom management, but like I said, I do not go into detail so that the interviewer can specifically ask more about those topics in the interview.

So what do I say if I’m switching careers and I’m in my mid 30s? It’s been over 10 years since I graduated college.

[@KellyS25]

I am in a similar boat, and luckily my mentor teacher took a similar route. He said to tell a story about what made you want to become a teacher and to also mention how your old career has helped you prepare for the teaching world.

[@caitlynmurphy4837]

We're you asked to do a demo lesson? If so any tips?

[@poppy9830]

I wasn't asked to do a demo lesson.. I would look up TH-cam videos and google ideas for that, I've never been asked to do one. Good luck though :)
