Or is it just me?
I get interviews for TA / school library jobs. I have been a classroom volunteer for 6 months, I have an English degree, I’m currently studying an Open University primary education module.
But at the interview I’m always up against former teachers and school mums. Had an interview recently for a very part time school librarian job. The 3 other ladies being interviewed were very nice and all school mums. One was an former teacher, one was a former children’s librarian and a member of the PTA and volunteered there too and the other was a current TA at the school.
So I knew I had no chance. Everyone else was interviewed and had an observed classroom activity. I waited 2.5 hours in the staff room until it was my turn as they had “forgotten” about me. Their interviews lasted 25 minutes. I was in and out within 10 minutes so they obviously knew who they wanted!
Just feels like a complete waste of time going for these kind of interviews!
