“Before interviewing occurs, criteria and questions for a structured interview should be developed (Saylor.org, 2012, Pl 144). I feel these are the interview questions that are relevant and should remain. Why did you apply for this job? It’s important to find out why they are applying? Did they just obtain a degree, are they changing jobs, did the last one not make them happy, do they change jobs often? This can lead into the candidate opening up to the interviewer. What do you know about the school? It’s important for the candidate to do their research before coming to the interview.

What do you think the most important characteristics of an effective teacher are? I’m almost positive that student would not ask this question. This is more for the board or the teachers to ask. I feel as though a student wouldn’t even know what the answer to this would be. Do you have any ideas for afterschool activities or clubs?
