Dear young man, if it is a private school please don't go.

You'll end up being a shadow of yourself a few months into the job.

Better to stay at home and have peace and strategize from there. Except you want to experience the meaning of "a miserable life or smiling and suffering". Pity your mental health, my dear fellow.

Possible exception: part-time in a skilled subject like music or languages.

Enter the street and do the dirty work now. Private schools are confidential abyss for teachers.

Think of a private tutorial or home lessons if you love teaching.

I'm telling you this if you value your peace of mind.

Au revoir.

There is a school that called me for an interview today, and the interview is Wednesday. They have my CV and they are already aware of my discipline.

I studied Chemistry and I'm a fresh graduate, meaning I haven't been granting much interviews for me to have a prior knowledge of how and what questions would be set.

Please anybody who has done and dusted interviews in this aspect/subject should kindly give me few AOC of what might likely come out.
I really need this job at least to engage myself and I don't want to throw it out of the window.
Thank you very much.

Most of the questions you would be ask are from elementary chemistry. I am saying it from the previous teaching interview I had attended.

Was asked:
What is quantum number?
How can it be applied in projectile?
What happens to a body under escape velocity when the motion stops?
Tho na lecturing job.

Ahah haba

Baba began to bit his tongue in some answer to the questions

I was actually sleepless a night to the day practicing Laplace equation, Lagrange equation, plasma frequency equation and the rest. Neglecting the small small keypoints.

I am actually planning to start a Private tutorial, but I'm yet to fund it, like get the chairs and desks done..and also market it using templates, banner and flyers. Infact I got a white maker board already and I av a place I can start with.. Just those things I listed that remain..that is why I think I should work, gather money and sort myself.

And you can also give me idea on how I can start that private tutorial please sir..any idea is highly welcomed and appreciated.

Lol, OP, this reminded me of last month. I am a fresh graduate like you, I study Theatre Arts and I am very passionate about Media and entertainment. So I applied to this AD4radio/Television after seeing the vacancy. When I got there, after series of questions and answers, I was told that I lack the required experience to work with them. I told them that I can't have the experience if they didn't give me the job. Sadly, I never got the job.

It is really depressing and frustrating to be jobless.

Congratulations on getting an interview! Since you're a fresh graduate with a background in Chemistry, you can expect questions related to your education, skills, and potential fit for the role. Here are some questions you might encounter:

1. Can you tell us about your educational background and your major in Chemistry?
2. What motivated you to pursue a degree in Chemistry?
3. Could you share any specific projects or research you worked on during your studies?
4. How have your studies in Chemistry prepared you for this role?
5. What technical skills do you possess that would be relevant to this position?
6. Have you had any practical laboratory experience that you can discuss?
7. How do you handle challenges or unexpected results in a scientific setting?
8. Can you give an example of a time when you worked effectively as part of a team?
9. Are you familiar with any specific software or analytical instruments commonly used in Chemistry?
10. Why are you interested in working at our school/company?

These are just a few examples of the types of questions you might encounter. Be sure to review your CV and any relevant coursework to refresh your memory and prepare examples that showcase your skills and suitability for the role. Also, take the time to research the school and its programs to demonstrate your genuine interest during the interview. Good luck!

Expect questions on the subject you'll be teaching. So your theoretical and practical knowledge of it is very important. Also, expect questions pertaining to educational and teaching skills. Goodluck.
