A "Practice" Interview?

Yes, I did. I applied for summer school, so then I didn't have to spend the whole July thinking about THE EVENT and just making myself go psycho. Well, okay, I also applied because my principal happens to be the principal who decides who to hire and where to place...so I knew the chances were "pretty good."

And so I was just waiting pleasantly to be notified where to go and what to teach for the summer when my principal came up to me this morning and said, "Oh, by the way we have a new summer school on-site supervisor/coordinator (I really can't remember the position name) who needs someone to interview this afternoon for practice, are you busy?"

"Um...no? Sure, I guess." (Totally out of the blue and unprepared! I like to be ready you know?!? What do you mean "practice"? So do I have a job or not?!?)

"Okay then, after school it is! It won't be more than 10-15 minutes. Thanks!"

After School...

The interview was 30 minutes. I mean...I was experienced and knew how to teach but really...I felt like I was being re-hired to be a teacher! We discussed programming to classroom management to parental issues...the whole gammit. And the whole time I was talking, I just really wanted to know...so I still have a job no matter the quality of my answers, right?!?

It was just like a REAL interview...wait...I thought it was just for practice?!?
