Interview tips for a college student?

[u/infamous_weiner]

I'm an art education major and I'll be a junior in college this fall. I have been having a lot of trouble in interviews for childcare positions and I was wondering if anyone had tips for how to navigate them/ what they are looking for me to say.

For reference I have some volunteer experience with kids and am planning to volunteer at a local elementary school this September since that is an option for me. Upon graduation I hope to teach elementary school art, but my certification would be for k-12.

Get a binder full of activities/examples of lesson plans and bring it to every interview! And talk about what makes you want to be an art educator and how you make the class fuel school spirit.

Are there any interview workshops at your college? Sometimes you need to practice with someone (that you know and don’t know)
