Case: Stating the Inevitable
When I was interning, I ran across someone who had already graduated but was now applying for jobs. She went on an interview where the principal asked her, "Do teachers get burnt out?" I know that teaching can be stressful sometimes and burn out can happen and that you should be honest in interview. What is a good way to respond?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would say yes I know that teachers can get burnt out and tired, but the great thing about teaching is that about the time you start to feel burnt out you get a break. Teachers get a week for thanksgiving, 2-3 weeks off for Christmas, a week for spring break, and then 2-3 months for summer. This is a great perk about being a teacher. Also if you truly love what you do and love your students then I do not think that getting burnt out to the point of not doing your job correctly or want to quit. |

Comments: I do not believe that the answer lies in reiteration of the time "off" teachers have. Rather,I think a more appropriate response would be to answer yes,then provide positive solutions for inside and outside the classroom to lessen the effects of and deal with the possibility of burnout. |

Comments: I don't think you should talk about breaks you get being a beneficial thing in an interview. That could show them that you are working for all of the time off that you get, not for your students. |

Comments: I agree and I also think it's important to state ways to prevent burn out so the principle views you as a solution oriented candidate. |

Comments: I don't agree with telling them that you get a break. It sounds as if that is what you will be looking forward to instead of the love of teaching. |
