How do you get back on track without losing your composure?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted February 24, 2015 2:54 pm Sapypu Reps: 95 I always prepare notes for any sort of important situation. Even if they are not terribly meaningful notes, I can look back at them like a script of sorts. Another helpful solution is listening to yourself. Do not let your mind wander during an interview. Listen to what the interviewer is saying and what YOU are saying. Offer the interviewer a smile and an apology, collect your thoughts and move on. It's better to continue after having made a mistake rather than quit half way through.

For example, if the question is, "How do you feel about working on a team?" provide a detailed response and then as you wrap up your response, restate the question..."I believe working as a team strengthens teaching practices and ensures students' needs are being met".
