  Case: Unexpected Guest
You have a second interview with the principal of the school you've been aiming to teach at since you graduated. You bring in all of your things and are completely prepared for anything that they throw at you. The position is a 4th Grade teaching position and you feel that grade is best suited. When you arrive you see that the principal has brought a 4th Grade teacher from the school and was very surprised. The principal did not tell you that there would be anyone joining you and you become nervous. What do you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
They expect you to be nervous! They are gauging how you handle yourself under pressure. I feel this is just as important as the answers you give. I have sat on interview teams many times, and confidence is definitely one of the attributes that was important to me.

Comments: Maybe the principal was seriously considering this applicant and wanted one of the fellow teachers to meet him/her.... I would look at it positively. Maybe making the applicant nervous was not their intentions...
