Since the interview happens to be the last obstacle to achieve a job position, clearly the
interviewee’s answers make or break an interview. Though there may be tricky
questions in which an interviewee might get entangled, surprisingly, it is the basic
questions that trip up the candidates.
The sample responses below can help you formulate an answer that sincerely
expresses your goals and aspirations and will land you the job.
Clearly, the applicant seems to be concerned about the present educational system and
by mentioning the word ‘contribute’ he/she states his/her strong sense of motivation and
thus, distinguishes his/her candidature from the rest.
Further, the applicant can state and validate his/her basic interest in the job profile. By
doing so, he/she will catch the interviewer’s attention and the interviewer will understand
that the applicant is aware and interested in the nature of the job profile.
► Applicant: “I can’t think of any job as important to society as teaching. I have always
loved to give young people the best start in life. Interacting with kids is great. Be it on
educational grounds or recreational activities, it is a lot more fun interacting and learning
with kids. As a hobby, I have been giving tutorials to kids at the neighborhood
community center.”
The applicant has been able to put forward his/her reason for interest in the job profile. ‘I
love to interact’ and ‘I have been giving tutorials’ highlight the fact that the candidate is
aware of the intricacies of the job and has some sound experience in the same.

question.
Since being focused on achieving educational goals and being patient are key abilities
that a good teacher must possess, by mentioning these skills, the interviewee finally
wins the heart of the interviewer. Keep in mind all of these points, and be honest and
assertive while answering the question.

going to mention here the most important ones I have experienced through my
work period .

your students and their needs well . Classes , especially at universities , are
heterogeneous ,i.e your classes have many students with different
backgrounds , education knowledge, learning strategies , needs, and may be

teach grammar and structure , for example, ask your students to write a short
paragraph about themselves . You can collect their work and check it later .
Their work will tell you their background and knowledge of grammar rules and
sentence structure . So, getting an idea about the entire needs of your
students is the most important factor in being a professional teacher .
Along with , professional teachers are always patient and organized . they
never rush their students or explain randomly . So, to move one stair upwards
success, plan everything before you go to class . Set all things according to a
logical order and introduce your lesson step by step taking into consideration
your students learning strategies . Besides, a successful teacher shows an
interest in the subject as well as the students . So, be patient with and show a
great interest in your students .
Further more, professional teachers enjoy their job and vary their roles in the
class .You may want to be the person who provides the students information ,
but besides being information deliverer , you can be a close friend of them , a
parent , a promoter , ….. . You can enjoy and vary your role in the class in a
way that interests both , your students and you . You never can better when
you enjoy your job . Creating a relaxed environment helps you successfully
cover a great amount of the content . Besides,you will realize better
participation of your students with time and therefore learning will happen .

learn and acquire through time . The list bellow shows the most important
