Case: What kind of colleagues would you find it difficult to work with? Why? If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when 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!) My answer to this question would be that there always going to be some people that are easier to get along with than others, however, all types of people are deserving of respect and kindness. Colleagues that I would find it difficult to work with are colleagues that are narrow-minded and aren't willing to collaborate. I would explain by stating that this type of behavior comes across as selfish and does not indicate that this type of colleague has the best interests of the students in mind. In education, being able to collaborate with any type of person is very important and that is why it would be easier to work with a colleague that has the common goal of the students best interests and is willing to collaborate and have mature conversations with other teachers to ensure that the needs of the students are being met. I would avoid stating any particular instances of conflict in the past. I think the purpose for this question is more so to see what you as the interviewer value and to assess how you would interact with current staff members. |
