tour of school and meeting the head teacher.
I really want to be shortlisted and ofcourse get the position.

How can I stand out?

Good eye contact, have questions ready and be super smiley and friendly. Often the person showing you round the school will be observing your ‘soft’ skills and feeding back to the Head. Good luck!

Be aware that everyone you come into contact with may be asked for their opinion so not just the person showing you round but the office staff/receptionists too.

I really don’t think they should be asking the opinions of people you meet around the school if you haven’t even been shortlisted yet.
But as they might, be friendly and interested. The purpose is to find out if you want to apply.

@parrotonmyshoulder they will be though whether it’s right or wrong! I’ve been asked what I thought and I’m not even management.
