Most teachers will be able to write an impressive CV and cover letter (given their profession), so the interview is your opportunity to dig deeper and uncover each applicant’s true potential and suitability for your school or college.
It’s wise to prepare a selection of questions to keep the interview on track. Even if the interview is free flowing, a pre-determined set of questions to follow loosely is a good idea.
This list of 10 questions, compiled by our recruitment professionals, will help get you started in recruiting the best new teacher for your institution:
- Tell me a little about yourself and how you’ve got to where you are today.
