  Case: Stating the Inevitable
When I was interning, I ran across someone who had already graduated but was now applying for jobs. She went on an interview where the principal asked her, "Do teachers get burnt out?" I know that teaching can be stressful sometimes and burn out can happen and that you should be honest in interview. What is a good way to respond?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
While I am in agreement with the above listed solutions, I would take this as an opportunity to mention your hobbies and interests. One way to set yourself apart in an interview is to show your personality. This can be achieved by sharing what you do outside of school that allows you to deal with the stress and pressure that comes from dealing with a diverse group of students and parents on a daily basis. For me, this is playing sports, working out at the gym, and enjoying outdoor activities such as hunting and snowboarding.
