So you may or may not have guessed from the title that I have another interview. Congratuwelldone me.
But, exciting as that is, I can't let myself get overwhelmed by it all again - that was part of my downfall last time I reckon. That and the ridiculous group 'interview'!
Thankfully this time round I have an individual interview to look forward to. Something I'm a lot more comfortable with; I'm not great with interviews (my success rate is far from healthy) but at least when I'm on my own I can have some kind of control over the situation. For example, if there's something I want to say I don't have to physically gag someone to stop them from saying it first!
As I'm going for a Science specialism this time there is a "general scientific enquiry" in a group that will be observed. I've tried to work out exactly what this could be but I'm drawing a bit of a blank - any suggestions would be gratefully received! I've looked into the curriculum so it could be something from that, equally it could be something ridiculously simple like melting an ice cube...
My colleagues are being as supportive as ever. I really couldn't have been given a better place to work! Not too keen on the timings though: I'm somehow in charge of organising the Year 12 Parents' Evening, and that's on the night before my interview. But being given 3 weeks to prepare is very generous, so I really must make the most of it this time!
But so far the signs are all good. When I first saw the news I couldn't keep the smile off my face - and reading the description of the day actually did make me feel excited. I've not really felt nervous yet, unlike when I got the invitation from Bath Spa (10 minutes of excitement followed by hysteria), so that's also good.
The longer this process goes on, the more likely I am to try & give up or get bored - so I'm determined to do my best to get on this course. Otherwise what am I going to do?!
