I have applied for a TA job at a local school which it is fairly likely I will be asked to interview for (have done lots of voluntary work in this role, etc.) and have taught the year group it's in in the past ( was a teacher many moons ago!)
I have been out of schools being a sahm and also childminding for a few years and am now hoping to join this school as a T.A. I feel my interview prep is going fine but have no clue as to what to wear!
I'm limited in getting-to-the -shops ability (only just learned to drive, stuck in middle of nowhere, very busy day to day working life) so am thinking about ordering online. I also have a Next voucher I'm hoping to use up.
So........would you go for
- Smart suit with camisole or shirt underneath, or is that overdoing it? I have a navy Jigsaw pinstripe trouser suit that's about 10 years old but still just fits....? Think it's bootleg though, may be a bit dated.
- Smart ish navy trousers and crisp white cotton shirt?
- As above but with pretty white cotton short sleeve blouse?
I have very few clothes, all from charity shops, which have tided me over the last few years, but now I feel all at sea!!! The job means a lot to me and I don't want to get it wrong.
And shoes....are ballerina flats ok? Or heels? Kitten heels?! Scarf? Jewellery?!
I know it's a petty dilemma but am hoping some school workers could advise. Thanks in advance.
