  Case: When did you first become interested in teaching?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would assume that the phrases "I want to change a child's future" and "Ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up" are overused and unprofessional. There must be some point in your life that you decided teaching was your passion. Share about the relationship you had with your favorite teacher, talk about when you were a counselor at summer camp for five years in a row and how you enjoyed working with and teaching the campers new skills, or perhaps you attended a seminar and the speaker was a teacher who sparked your interest in education.
