» Irene Taylor - Intense situations!

You both have related two very intense interviews! Wow - my heart was pounding just reading about facing a panel like that!

I actually had a similar interview situation as well - I guess those pressure cooker panel interviews are more common than we think.

Years ago we considered moving to the area where we now live - and I interviewed for a teaching job at a well-known school in the area. It was in a conference room with the principal and 5 other teachers. Very stressful, and in the end I decided not to take the job, even though they were quite interested. The school used an open classroom model - and I was a traditional teacher, so I had reservations on the fit. In the end, we ended up moving here on our own terms, but I sure could have used a Mrs. Melvin to settle my nerves that day!

Great article Mario and excellent advice for anyone interviewing for a position, be it teaching or in another area.
