Phone Interview Tips

Recruiting company that I went with is Teach Away. www.teachaway.com They've been extremely efficient, responsive, and informative. I really appreciate their overall professionalism and punctuality. Now onto the main topic at hand - helpful tips to phone interview...  

#1: Be prepared. I highly recommend checking out Teach Away's website and looking through the links under its "Resources" tab. Truly, the label says it all - helpful resources, especially the "Interview Tips & Techniques" page. 

#2: Be prepared. Reflect on your teaching methodologies, strategies, & techniques, classroom management, differentiation, curriculum planning, and data-driven instruction; these are just the technical or logistical stuff. I would also reflect on WHY I want to teach abroad (and be honest with yourself) and your strengths, weaknesses, personality, attitude, goals, etc. 

#3: Be prepared. Wouldn't hurt to create yourself a notes page in anticipation of the questions and your own thoughtful answers. 

#4: Be genuine: It's okay to have imperfections and flaws. We're not perfect and there's always room for growth, both personally and professionally. As long as you have a positive attitude and are willing to learn, be flexible, and grow, you'll be fine!   

#5: Just breathe: Relax and let your experience and personality shine! 

I hope you find these tips helpful!
