  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!)
I would be honest with how I feel. Whether if it is a lack of interest in the sport/club or a lack of time, honesty is the best policy. You do not want to wear yourself too thin with too many activities or responsbilities and you do not want to invest yourself into something you are not interested in. Whatever you do, do it with a passionite heart.

Comments: I can't agree that honesty is the best policy, especially in an interview. In an interview, you're suppose to be boasting yourself up, fluffing your resume, and smiling and upbeat...this is not who you are 24 hours a day and it is not the most honest interaction you will have with your boss. Not by far.

Comments: While you want to be honest sometimes we may cut ourselves short so you want to stay open to opportunities.

Comments: I would not do this because answering that you are not very athletic or skilled might give a negative impression of you. A school is community where everybody helps each other and is willing to give a hand to whoever needs it.
