In this post, let us discuss the KVS interview etiquettes.
KVS Interview: Preparation Phase
- Wear professional clothing. Remember, the interviewer will be assessing your ability to be a role model for students. A person who is well dressed and nicely groomed is always impressive to meet.
- · Male candidates must wear a simple formal trouser, full sleeve shirt (preferably white), simple tie, mid-calf length socks, matching shoes and belt. Stay away from jeans for the interview.
- · For females on the other hand must wear a suit or saree, with minimal makeup, trim nails and avoid flashy nail colours, and an understated purse will do. Clothes should always be clean and well ironed.
- · Research the school. Visit the school’s website to get information about the school’s philosophy, mission, academic programs, extracurricular activities, and more. The more you know about the school and the school district, the more likely you’ll be able to ask targeted questions to get an idea of what it’s like to work there.
- · Prepare questions to ask. Come with a list of questions to ask the administrator and others interviewing you.
- · Prepare documents to bring. Bring your teacher portfolio as well as an updated cover letter, resume and references.
KVS Interview: During the Interview
· For Benjamin Franklin once said, lost time is never found again. Value of time indeed is priceless. Try to arrive at interview location at least 30 minutes earlier than the interview schedule mentioned in the KVS call letter.
· Address the female interviewer as ‘madam’ if you are not sure if to use ‘Miss or Misses’.
· Turn off your cell phone.
· A little politeness and exhibition of good manners and public behaviour is always counted as a plus no matter what the situation is. Small considerations like knocking the door before entering, seeking permission for entry, greetings (ladies first), waiting for the permission to take a seat, using thank yous frequently are all taken note of and speak a lot about the kind of person you are.
· Listen carefully. Answer questions using examples based on your experiences in the classroom.
· Too much mindless babbling will seldom lead you into trouble. Be absolutely conscious of what you are speaking and take time to think about what is being asked and the situations.
· A positive body language attributes to various personality enhancements. For example, sitting in straight posture with hands in your lap/thigh shows attentiveness while fidgeting and slouching on the other hand shows discomfort.. Eye contact with the board/interviewer and a clear voice shows confidence in the self.
KVS Interview: Concluding the Interview
· Express your interest. Make it clear that you want the job. Make sure your strengths are relevant to the role and weakness are not contrary to what is required for the role. Analyse the role. Think about what the interviewer wants to hear when answering this one. Keep in mind that each answer you give should add value to the position or company.
· Ask about their hiring plans. It’s perfectly okay to ask about their time frame and when you should expect to hear back.
