always adapt your application to the school. Too many applications are eventually rejected due to errors lazy, so at least get the name of the school on the right. Make it difficult for them to meet and not in addition to its support for the copy statement / letter of the job description and then put bullet points on how to meet the criteria under each point.

Ask the mentor, which are the most important. A great mentor is more important than the school in its first year. Try not to give in to fear and try to resist the first task if it is the right job. Also try to get clarity on your calendar as possible, teaching your own theme will keep you busy enough trying to avoid something else also teaching.

If you are asked to give a lesson in the context of the interview, then keep it simple and do one or two things rather than a lot of bad things. Have a plan B in place in case the technology does not work and try to "hook" immediately. Also used some of the students' names.

these days your application and CV are not the only way a school can weigh up to its educational potential. Many investigators have chosen to search online for help to gradually reduce competition. Whatever your clear references exemplary lessons and super slippery interview technique, and the school is in line with questionable content or the chances are that you will not make the cut. On the other hand, if you have a positive brand success of digital educational projects with students, is likely to help highlight a candidate.

Nobody says that teachers can not have a private life. You have a right as anyone to have an online presence. But in the context of the preparation of the application is a good idea to look on Google, please see the pictures too. Assess your fingerprint, chat with friends on the type of photos you are happy to be still and block the privacy settings in your case. If you do not know how to do a search on Google, you'll see a lot of step by step instructions. It comes down to control. Always think before you post and examine the UK Safer Internet Centre (http://www.saferinternet.org.uk/) website for more information. Good luck.
