So, after delaying as long as I could to make sure I would def finish my PGCE I started applying for jobs. I was invited to an interview and the day was so stressful. As much as we were inited to feel free to spen some time relxing before the interview everyone there clearly felt obliged to be bobbing in and out of classrooms and such (as we had been also invited to do) at lunch some even went out on the playground to talk to the children etc.
Needless to say I didn't get the job and part of my feedback was "The lesson wasn't planned the way we would have planned it" (on the ever popular Olympic theme but told that everything else was down to me to decide for the lesson) Bearing in mind I had contacted them before hand and asked if there was any additional things I should be aware of etc. How on earth can that be constructive feedback? The only other thing she could say was that one answer about formative and summative assessments could have been stronger.
I'm now sat looking at other jobs wondering where the hell to start.
Any tips?
