I think it went pretty well. The Director gave me a sheet with some question to write answers to when I arrived, and said we'd discuss them when I was done. So I filled them in, let her know, and she came and sat down and read through them, after checking and photcopying my ID. She said 'This is great', and then told me a lot about the centre, etc. We chatted about educational theories and so on, and why we each love working with kids, and then it was over really.

I was a little surprised, and disappointed because I ran out of writing space, and ona couple of questions, wrote just a name or something, as the situation I was asked to describe would have taken pages to write, so I thought I'd just tell her about it. Hoping that doesn't reflect badly.

She seemed really friendly, we got along well and I was there for about an hour (including writing time), the lack of verbal questions had just surprised me. Though it was good, meant I got to really think about my answers. She said if I don't get the position I've applied for (which I have a feeling I won't - I think she thinks I'm overqualified), she's putting me on the casual list, as there's 8 centres in town and she says I'd get heaps of work.

That's really good of her, and it means I could keep up my casual work at a school I love as well..was just really hoping for something permanant. I want the continuity with the same group of kids, iykwim. Plus the benefits of being permanent are pretty good too Quite sick of bieng a casual worker.
