Teaching interview

[Golfingdrw]

I had an interview beginning of July for a teaching position. I haven’t heard back. Aibu to assume I wasn’t lucky? 😩

Was that for supply or a directly employed position?
Usually teaching jobs are offered on the same day as the interview. What did they say about the recruitment process?

It was maternity cover starting in September

Very unusual. As per pp, you normally hear on the day even if it's a rejection. Did you definitely leave your correct phone number?

I’d assume not but would contact them just to confirm they’ve been really rude and unprofessional not letting you know.

I would assume they chose someone else, I'm afraid.

There are still plenty available for this Sept though. I would let this one go and apply elsewhere, you'll have no problem getting something.

We always decide on the day, unless there is some mitigating circumstance where we need to wait until the next day. Either way, we always contact candidates the same day, whether successful or not and provide feedback. I would absolutely contact them - did you definitely provide the correct email and contact numbers?

At least I think I did, I left my mobile and email so even if one of them is wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

We always decide on the day and let everybody know.

It couldn’t have gone to your junk folder could it?

We nearly always decide on the day and then let the people know .. the only possible thing would be if you were the reserve choice and they are awaiting the paperwork of the first choice ... but even then it has been quite a while to have no communication.

I think it’s really rude they didn’t let you know.
Schools usually call the next day, or even on the day.

You should have heard on the same day

Maybe I should just email the head?

You could frame it as asking for feedback? But very unusual not to have heard either way!

@ellesbellesxxx yes I was going to ask for feedback purely.

That’s really strange. You’d normally be told on the day.

That extremely unusual.
Schools are normally very good about this kind of stuff and contact you on the day or the day they’ve interviewed everyone they’re interested in.

Ok so clearly it’s a no!

I’m sorry, but it’s definitely a ‘no’. There’s no way a school would have waited this long to confirm an appointment with the school term looming. It’s still worth contacting them ‘for feedback’ as there’s a (small) chance there’ll be another role or that they’ll keep your details on record. Sorry.

@Russooooo 😫

Agree with everyone else, - the school wouldn't be just waiting for you to reply to an offer, so it is reasonable to assume you weren't selected, but I also agree with everyone else that schools generally decide on the day and normally let all candidates know, once the person selected has accepted (so might be the next working day perhaps).
However, why are you only asking now ?
If your interview was at the beginning of July, why didn't you contact them a few days after that - when it was still term time ?
