I plan on applying for an elementary position with the district that I live in. I am a little nervous about going through the interview process once again. What are the most commonly asked questions that I should prepare for? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I have been through a wide variety of interviews in many different occupations. The first universal question is always, "tell us your name and a little bit about yourself." Take this opportunity to talk about the following: birth place, family, education, hobbies/interests, community service project(s), religious beliefs, and prior work experiences that influenced your career decisions or teaching practices. The follow up question will likely be "why are you wanting to transfer schools?" As a fellow educator that also commutes 45+ minutes a day, I certainly understand the desire/need to be closer to your home. My advice is to be honest, that is a respectable/logical reason for wanting to transfer districts.
