Sinopsis

SMASHING INTERVIEWS: A TEACHING ASSISTANT HANDBOOK FOR TAs WHO WANT TO BE INTERVIEW CONFIDENT!

This book, written by a former TA/HLTA/1:1 TA of 20 years, covers everything TAs need to know from application to interview!

ARE YOU A TEACHING ASSISTANT WHO HATES INTERVIEWS?

DO YOU FEEL AT A COMPLETE LOSS ABOUT WHAT TO WRITE ON THE APPLICATION FORM AND HOW TO WRITE YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT?

DO YOU FIND YOURSELF PUTTING OFF PREPARING FOR YOUR INTERVIEW BECAUSE IT MAKES YOUR ANXIETY WORSE?

DO YOU WORRY YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS ESPECIALLY THE SAFEGUARDING QUESTIONS?

DO YOU WONDER WHAT THE HECK THE WRITTEN TASK, IN-TRAY TASK AND UNSEEN TASKS ARE?

DO YOU DREAD HAVING YOUR INTERVIEW ONLINE?

THEN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!

I wrote this book because I was being asked the same questions over and over again about applying for interviews and attending interviews. I realised that many Teaching Assistants go for years without going through the interview process but with redundancies and the pandemic the likelihood of changing jobs is greater than ever before.

But, I didn’t want to create an ordinary question and answer book. Instead, I wanted to create a book that, once you’ve completed it, would be YOUR GO TO HANDBOOK for interviews. It would be personal to you because YOUR answers are inside, not someone else’s answers, written in their voice, but YOURS! In this way, when you read the answers to yourself, you will believe you’ll be able to repeat them at interview, because they ARE YOUR ANSWERS.

So, inside SMASHING INTERVIEWS you’ll find:

• Part 1 - a section completely devoted to filling in the application form, using a typical example used by schools.
• Part 2 – a section devoted to the interview questions. I’ve included over 40 interview questions, each one with prompts for how to answer along with space to plan your own answer and write your complete answer for each question (Questions about the TA role, general TA questions, SEND questions, EAL questions, Safeguarding & Child Protection questions).
• Also included in Part 2 are 6 questions you could ask the school, each one explaining what asking the question will demonstrate about you, professionally.
• Part 3 - all about online interviews and includes a checklist so you can interview online like a pro!
• Part 4 - all you need to know about the interview tasks! (observation task, written task, teaching task, in-tray task, unseen task etc)
• Part 5 - looks at your anxiety about interviews and shows you how to use it to motivate you into action rather than procrastination!
• Part 6 - enables you to keep your information current and up to date by giving you space for details about new workplaces, new referees and new courses you complete. It also gives you space to keep a record of any useful interview resources.

By the time you’ve finished this book, you’ll have a complete record of everything you need for applying for interviews and answering interview questions, completing your interview tasks, in person or on Zoom. And the brilliant thing about that is, you’ll have it for all your interviews, and this will mean less preparation time in the future!

You'll also get access to VALUED CUSTOMER ADDED EXTRAS which will BOOST your interview CONFIDENCE even further and includes interview questions with suggested answers!
