Get That Job - ...as an NQT
With an increasing number of trainee teachers chasing a fixed amount of full time jobs, performing well at interviews has never been so important.
In this programme, five trainee teachers compete to see who will best impress in an interview room.
A preliminary interview determines which two will go through to the next stage and who out of the three remaining, will be coached to see how much they can improve.
Steven Jones is an ex-city worker who has come to teaching relatively late. He is finding it hard to absorb the amount of educational theory needed as a trainee teacher, never mind being able to regurgitate it clearly in an interview setting.
At the shortlisting interview, Steven is picked out by interview coach Christine Webber as the candidate who she thinks could most benefit from interview coaching.

I really recommend watching22 November 2007 - 16:09I really recommend watching 'Get that job...as an NQT' to trainee teachers, particularly to those with no previous interview experience. It is really interesting to hear the interviewers reflecting on the candidates and it gives you an insight as to what schools are looking for in potential teachers.
