How Will You Compliment This School?

One of the essential “ingredients” in every new employee is the ability to work well with others and the ability to be part of a highly functioning team.  The interviewer wants to know how you will become part of the “education team” and that your personality will complement the staff already in place.  Here's a question you are sure to be asked:

     How will you compliment this school?

     A:   I particularly enjoy an environment in which there is a great deal of camaraderie and support.  My two previous visits to Deer Valley High School revealed that teachers here are quite supportive of each other.  There are book discussion groups, teacher-led in-service meetings, and several social events throughout the year.  There is a spirit of cooperation and collegial support throughout the school – a spirit I can embrace and prosper in.

This is an opportunity to assure the interviewer that you are a true “team player.”  You’ll also note that this is a good question to determine whether you have done your homework on the school prior to your interview.
