Case: Extra-curriculars or no extra-curriculars?
I've always been told that "once you're a coach, you're always a coach." In addition, principals love when newly hired faculty is willing to help coach or volunteer for a club. If you're asked this question in the interview, how would you respond? If a principal asks if you would be willing to sponsor clubs or coach, yet you think it's something you wouldn't want to do, would you tell them? How could you answer this question without saying a flat out "no?"
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Interviewing for job positions is incredibly competitive, so interviewees want to market themselves the best they can. I would not go into an interview unwilling to do some sort of extra curricular activity, for it comes with the territory of taking on a new job. However, that does not mean you have to agree to everything. You should go in knowing what you are willing to do, so if the principal asks, "Would you be willing to be an assistant basketball coach?" you can say, "I do not know that I would make an impact as a coach, but I would enjoy working with students outside of class. Perhaps I could be a class adviser." |

Comments: I agree with this solution. Showing that you are willing to take on being a coach shows that you are willing to help improve the school in anyway that you can. However if you are not wanting to have a full responsibility as being the coach it is always good to offer an alternative that would help in some way. |
