An educator's guide to finding, applying, and interviewing for a teaching-related job.
#getthatjob An educator's guide to finding, applying and interviewing for a teaching-related job. Doug Belsh aw Introduction Welcome to #getthatjob! I've been motivated to write this as a result of being asked and consulted by educators numerous times both face-to-face and online. The names and faces are different, but the problem is the same: how do I present myself effectively and honestly in writing and in person? In other words, how do I #getthatjob? This ebook will empower you to : � Find the type of education-related job you're looking for � Write an application letter that will lead to interview � Use effective strategies to interview successfully Please note that whilst the specifics of #getthatjob are focused on schools in England, the ideas are much more widely applicable! The template for this ebook is based on an original shared very kindly free-of-charge by Antonio Lupetti (http://woorkup.com) ______________ LINKS blog: http://dougbelshaw.com/blog email: firstname.lastname@example.com twitter: http://twitter.com/dajbelshaw #getthatjob Table of contents 1.

The choice we all face There are many reasons why you may be looking to apply for a teaching-related job: � You may be towards the end of your teacher training and looking for your first job � The current job you're in may be stressful, unrewarding or be too far away from where you're want to live. � You may be looking for a promotion - to Head of Department or Assistant Head, for example. � Having had some time away from teaching you may be looking be looking to return to the classroom. In fact, there are many reasons why you may want to apply for a job in a particular school. And that's the first thing to remember: not everyone is in your position. Everyone brings not only different skills but different experiences into the mix. You can use that to your advantage. The thing to remember is that, although you may not feel like it, you are in control. I'll say that again in a slightly different way: You are in control of your career. #getthatjob There may be pressure on you to get a job - any job. It may feel like financial circumstances dictate that you need to accept any job that you're offered. I want to persuade you that this isn't actually the case. In fact, you need to think carefully about how you are going to approach applying for jobs. There are, broadly, two approaches you can take. Approach 1 - the institutional approach If you're concerned about the status or location of a school then you will undoubtedly take the institutional approach. That is to say, you are interested in a school because it is that particular school. You may have family in the area, children in schools you don't want to take them out of, or a house you love. Likewise, you may want to work in a prestigious school, for a particular Headteacher, or in the private rather than state sector. Approach 2 - the positional approach If you want to hold a particular position - Head of English, for example, then you may be less concerned about where you work. You may be more willing to travel further to get to work, even to relocate to secure that particular position. #getthatjob Each of these approaches place limits upon your job search. You may think this is a bad thing, but actually limits and boundaries are inherently good. They give you a focus, a clear method of approaching your job search. Problems come when you've either got too much or too little choice. It's easy to deal with too much choice - you narrow down your options: � If you were previously willing to move anywhere for that particular position, you cut it down to a 25-mile radius around areas you know (where you currently live, were brought up, or went to university). � If before you wanted any type of school-based job, you decide what position(s) you really want. It's slightly more difficult to deal with a situation where you haven't got enough choice. Here, you need to prioritise. If you're taking the institutional approach, then you need to consider taking a temporary position (a maternity cover, for example) in a school you'd like to work at. Once you're there, it's easier to persuade the Head of your talents. You'd be surprised at the number of people who are kept on - and subsequently given a more suitable role (or even promoted!) #getthatjob If you're taking the positional approach, then you're someone for whom showing logical progression on a CV matters. Remember, however, that a commitment to, for example, Science education doesn't have to come solely from teaching that subject full-time in a school. Whilst you're teaching another subject you could offer extra-curricular tuition in courses that the school doesn't ordinarily offer. Failing that, you could: � Teach at a local college in the evening. � Get involved in organising whole-school days focusing on a theme relevant to where you want to go with your career. � Keep up a blog or create a website with relevant resources to the area in which you want to specialise. (You'd be amazed at the contacts you can make by doing this!) What's important is that you see your career as a trajectory, as a journey with stopping-off points. Just as on that family road trip when you were a child, some of these stopping-off points may be more fun/productive/useful than others. Considered appropriately, they all get you to where you want to be! ______________ RESOURCES Google Maps - http://maps.google.co.uk (find out how far it takes to travel to a school! #getthatjob 1.2. Where to look In the UK, almost all teaching-related jobs are advertised in the Times Educational Supplement (http://tes.co.uk/jobs). Almost all. There are some jobs that Headteachers don't want to advertise in the national press. This might be because: � They don't think it's worth the expenditure (because it's a temporary position, for example) � They need someone more quickly than the deadlines for the TES allow. � They've already got someone in mind for the job. You may think that if it's the third reason then there's no point in applying. Whilst it's true that in this case you'd have to be even more obviously better than the person they've got in mind, it's not impossible. By law, Headteachers have to advertise all jobs available in their school. However, `advertise' is an ambiguous word. It can mean `put up a short note in the staff room' as well as `take out a fullpage ad in a national publication'. Often, jobs will be advertised on council websites. In amongst the job adverts for refuse collectors and cleaners are scattered #getthatjob teaching jobs - potentially your perfect position! There are also circulars sent out to schools in the area listing all the teachingrelated jobs available that week/month/term. That's why it pays to have contacts, people in schools who can let you know when jobs come up. It's also why sending in a letter of application and your CV without being invited to can also work. Getting your foot in the door is the hardest part. Failing that, try doing some supply teaching. Whilst more and more schools are employing `cover supervisors' (another position you may consider) there are still plenty that rely on supply teachers on a regular basis. The advantage of doing supply is that you get experience of lots of different schools. You get to sharpen up your behaviour management skills. You learn how to `brand' yourself. You need to be reliable, efficient, and memorable. If gaining Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is an issue, long-term supply can count towards this! ______________ RESOURCES TES - http://tes.co.uk Directgov: Local Councils - http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Dl1/ Directories/Localcouncils/index.htm #getthatjob 2. Writing an effective letter of application 2.1. You are your own media outlet The best metaphor I can think of for what it's like writing an effective letter of application for a teaching-related job is that you are your own media outlet. You decide on the content and the style. You decide on how your story is told. That being said, you must make sure you fulfil the criteria set out in the job advert. If it says `no more than two sides of A4' it means just that. And don't try to change the font size down to 8 to compensate - it doesn't work! If it says `use the application form and do not enclose CVs' then don't send your CV. For some positions schools receive tens of applications. Headteachers are time-poor. They need a way to sort through applications quickly and efficiently. Many will use their Personal Assistant to filter out all those who haven't done what they've been asked to do - including those that arrive late. A note, in parenthesis, on handing in your application by hand. Whilst this sounds as if it's a positive step, I'd suggest that you #getthatjob don't do this unless you're certain it's going to be a positive thing. Let me just list three things that could go wrong: � You meet the Headteacher and have nothing interesting to say and, whilst they're dressed for business, you've got your jeans on. � Because you're in a rush, or for some other reason, you come across negatively to the receptionist. They comment on this as they hand over the application to the Head or the Head's PA. � Your application is handed into the office and put down somewhere (apart from the other, mailed-in, applications). It is subsequently misplaced and only turns up after the application deadline (when it will be ignored). It's far better to post your application to the school. If it's the day before, send it Special Delivery so it's guaranteed to arrive before a certain time. One last tip: if you mark your envelope `Private & Confidential' you pretty much guarantee that only the Head will open it - after all, it could be something from a parent about a particular student! If you are your own media outlet, then you need to think about how you're going to come across to your audience. How are you going to stand out from the crowd? #getthatjob The font in which you're reading this, and which I use on my blog is called `Georgia'. Why do I use this font? A few years ago I read that a study done at several universities showed that papers (of varying quality) were marked different depending on which font they used. Georgia came out top. Apparently, it's close enough to the standard `Times New Roman' to be acceptable to the conservative, whilst different enough to stand out. Little things make big differences. Remember, if you've got a blog or website, have been mentioned in a newspaper (available online) or are involved in something that is accessible on the internet, then mention it in your letter of application! Heads aren't allowed to ask certain questions but they're human - they want to know the following: � � � � What do you look like? Are you reliable? Are you married? single? divorced? in a relationship? How old are you? These are things that you can't really put into your application. But any Head worth their salt will want to know about them and will follow links that you give them. It makes you a more rounded person, it makes you leap off the page, it makes them interested in you and your story. #getthatjob If, for example, I link to http://dougbelshaw.com (see next page) what could a Head find out about me? First of all, they can see immediately what I look like and ascertain how old I am. (Note: I've chosen the photo) If they really wanted to know how old I am, they could look at my Google Profile or LinkedIn profile which lists my age. #getthatjob I've indicated I'm married. Schools are conservative institutions and so for many Heads this is a positive thing. They'd be thinking I'm more likely to be stable and reliable. It's an assumption, but our job is to get an interview, nothing more. If they want to find out any more about me, they can `go down the rabbit hole' (so to speak) and follow the links I've provided. I'd recommend at least linking to something like a Google Profile in your application letter. Here's mine: #getthatjob As you can see, I've connected pretty much everything I do online to my Google profile - my Flickr stream, Twitter account, Delicious links, Last.fm details, and so on. You don't have to link absolutely everything: it's your media outlet so you can decide what to feature there. The more time a Head spends reading your application and supporting information, the more likely they are to invite you to interview. This is the sole purpose of your application letter: to get you an interview. ______________ SOME INFO TO THE END OF THE ARTICLE Toastmasters International: Tips & Techniques - http://www.toastmasters.org/MainMenuCategories/FreeResources/ NeedHelpGivingaSpeech/TipsTechniques.aspx #getthatjob 2.2. The art of embellishment Whilst I don't have many problems in talking about myself or my achievements, I know many people who do. They find it difficult to `big-up' what they've done, to embellish and slightly exaggerate what they've done. That's not to say that I'm advocating lying. Certainly not. But that observed lesson in which you achieved `good with outstanding features' could suddenly become a sentence that looks something like: "I have been observed regularly for Performance Management, being delighted with recently being graded `outstanding' by my current Head of Department." And those sporadic runs you go on when sometimes you have to walk? Well, that becomes: "I enjoy keeping fit, mainly through running. I am committed to a healthy lifestyle and modelling this to the students in my charge." You haven't lied. You are committed to a healthy lifestyle and you have been graded `outstanding' (in some areas) - it's the telling of the story that matters. #getthatjob A good exercise is to imagine that you've been invited to do a presentation or a workshop at a conference. As part of the process you've been asked to provide a short biography to go in the conference programme. These conference bios need to: � Be positive � Explain how you're qualified for this position/talk/ workshop � Tell a story In other words, following this approach leads to the ultimate opening paragraph in an application letter! Ewan McIntosh is a teacher who has gone on to advise Learning & Teaching Scotland, Channel 4 and many organisations around the world. He has now set up his own company, No Tosh, and has a widely-read blog: http://edu.blogs.com The reason I'm mentioning Ewan is because he's a past master at creating an online presence and writing conference bios. I've taken the following (see next page) directly from his company website: #getthatjob Ewan is one of Europe's foremost experts in digital media for public services, particularly in education. He has worked with thousands of teachers across the world, in China, India, New Zealand, North America and Europe. He was also a key player in setting up one of the most ambitious investment funds from a public service broadcaster in the UK, himself making the call on investing over �1m in cutting edge and high impact digital media products. He is also the founder of 38minutes.co.uk, the creative industries platform for the North of the UK. In education, he helped set up and grow an active community of educators over a large school district, the adoption strategy of which has been replicated countless times around the globe. His understanding and application of the latest web, mobile and games technology also continues to influence policy and practice in the world of education, where his personal passions lie. Of course, when you're writing a letter of application, you wouldn't write in the third-person, but the principles are the same. #getthatjob Note how Ewan: � Quantifies what he's done (where he's worked, how much he's invested, websites he's founded) � Focuses on the positive. � Links to relevant online resources/pages (you can do this through footnotes) � Tells a story that makes you want to know more about him and what he does. In the next section we'll be looking at how to put together an application letter. Before you move onto that, you might want to think about what you'd put into your conference bio! ______________ SOME INFO TO THE END OF THE ARTICLE eHow: How To Write a Short Author Bio - http://22.214.171.124/search?q=cache: 46qGpjEnZVcJ:www.ehow.com/how_4785122_write-short-authorbio.html #getthatjob 2.3. Sample application letter Three years ago I wrote a post on my old blog entitled How to write an application for a teaching-related job. It continues to be by far the most popular post on that blog and is one of the reasons why I decided to write #getthatjob! The following, whilst borrowing heavily from that popular blog post, is informed by my subsequent experience - including moving into the Senior Leadership Team at a large Academy. Checklist for inclusion in any letter of application for a teachingrelated job: � Any specific things you have been asked to include in the letter. � Your academic track record. � The educational philosophy that informs your teaching � What you can bring to the role for which you are applying � Extra-curricular stuff you can offer Let's see how that breaks down: 1. Put your name and contact details at the top of your letter of application, centred (address, phone, email, etc.) 2. Address the headteacher properly (check if they're a `Dr' for example) #getthatjob 3. List your positive qualities and your academic achievements. 4. Talk about how your studies inform your teaching, using phrases like `putting theory into practice'. 5. Mention your educational philosophy talking about, for example, the importance of `being an effective learner to be an effective teacher'. 6. Explain how you would approach the role to which you are applying. 7. Discuss specific issues to do with the post to which you are applying. Do your homework: read newsletters, inspection reports and the like! 8. Throw in some non-teaching aspects (being a tutor, running extra-curricular clubs, etc.) 9. Explain your reasons for applying for the position. Be positive. 10. Finish strongly - appeal to the Headteacher's pride or ego. Quote what they've told you back at them! Let's take a more concrete, although fictional, example. In passing, I'd like to mention that every letter of application you write, although it can be largely informed by others you've written before (and by this guide) should be specific to the school to which you're applying. If you think that's timeconsuming, you'd be right. But by doing so you're massively upping your chances of getting to interview. And that, after all, is the whole point of the application letter! #getthatjob Let's say that you see the following position that interests you: Teacher of History Oakway School, Sheffield A Teacher of History is required for September 20xx, owing to expansion and the opening of our new �5 million Sixth Form Centre. Oakway School is a brand-new 11-18 comprehensive serving the Meadowhall area of Sheffield. It currently has 2000 Years 7-12 students on roll and will grow to 2,500 students by September 2012. We are designated as a Specialist Humanities College and as such History enjoys a prominent position in the curriculum and is a popular choice for students at GCSE and A level. A recent Ofsted inspection rated the school as 'outstanding' or 'good' on every aspect. Behaviour, care, guidance and support and leadership were all graded as 'outstanding'. Oakway benefits from a lively and dynamic staff team and some of the best facilities of any school in the region. Opportunities for further promotion are excellent. Please contact Samantha Brown, PA to the Headteacher, on (00000) 000000 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com for further details. From this advert we've discovered that: � The school has a specialism in Humanities � Ofsted think it's a Good school with Outstanding features #getthatjob � They've got a new Sixth Form Centre and will have a full cohort of 11-18 for the first time next academic year � The school has some kind of commitment to staff development What should you do next? Head for the Ofsted report. See what the other side of the story is. You can access these for schools in the state sector at http://ofsted.gov.uk and for the independent (private) sector at http://www.isi.net. Once you have found the relevant inspection report you should look to find two positive quotations and two negative quotations that you can use in your application letter. Go to the school's website. If it's regularly maintained, you should be able to find a newsletter or some kind of details of recent events. Be prepared to reference a couple of these in your application letter and at interview. When you receive the application pack via post or email, think about what else you haven't been able to find out that you'd like to know. Have they included GCSE results for History? If not, (politely) contact the school and ask for them. Also look at the #getthatjob type of words the school uses to describe itself and it's staff. Note them down to re-use in your letter of application. The final thing you could do is to look at local newspaper reports about the school and/or do a Google search. It's best to use quotation marks to get exactly what you want - e.g. This search might bring up things that the school isn't so proud about or has neglected to mention. Behaviour on schools buses, the status of the school in the local community, controversy #getthatjob over planned extensions - these are all things that you won't hear from the school itself! Once you've got all of the information ready, it's time to write the letter of application. It's best to do this in two stages - first of all brainstorm everything you want to say and arrange your notes into paragraphs. Go off and do something else, and then return to it to write it properly. That time in between is `processing' time - either subconsciously or consciously. On the next page is a sample letter for the above, fictional position. See if you can spot everything above in action. (I've made up some of my attributes!) #getthatjob (Email Address) (Home phone number) Dear Mr Smith, (Your Address) (Date) I am an enthusiastic, creative and ambitious teacher writing in support of my application for the position of History teacher at Oakway School. Graduating from a BA (Honours) degree in History at the University of Edinburgh, I self-funded an MA in Modern History at the University of Nottingham before completing my PGCE at the latter institution. As part of my commitment to professional development and passion for learning, I am currently studying towards a further MA in Teaching and Learning on a part-time basis through the University of Sheffield. I have been part of whole-school initiatives at my current school, providing leadership on a recent `Curriculum Enrichment Day'. I believe that I have the qualities to put theory in to practice and to help make Oakway an `Outstanding' school in all areas. I believe that to be an effective teacher one must also be an effective learner, which is why I continue to develop and challenge myself. Both through both my academic writing for my MA in Teaching and Learning, and the reflective writing on my blog 1, I seek to contribute to the establishment of 21st century pedagogies that will inspire, motivate and engage learners of all ages. My aim as a teacher of History at Oakway, 1 http://yourwebsite.com/blog #getthatjob therefore, would be to help establish and foster a positive community of practice and ethos. I am a keen user of educational technology and feel that it is an excellent tool for giving young people access to the types of primary sources that they would only previously have been able to see on field trips. I have spoken at the last three Schools History Project Conferences on the use of new technologies in History education. I greatly enjoy teaching across the age range in my current role. Last year I was given the responsibility for rewriting the Key Stage 3 scheme of work, transforming it into a more thematic longitudinal study in line with the new QCA guidelines. I was helped in this by being in contact with History teachers around the country whom I have met both face-to-face and online. Further up the school I have had success with my GCSE History classes, my most recent cohort gaining, on average, a grade higher than their predicted grade. I have been similarly successful in trialling new technologies to engage and enthuse learners at AS and A2 level. I am also an examiner at AS Level for Edexcel. As a keen footballer I was delighted to note that Oakway has not only top-notch facilities, but a long and glorious history of successful football teams. At my current school I have managed the Year 9 football team for the last two years. I would look forward to, if appropriate, taking up a similar role at Oakway. Having recently set up a popular Film Club at my current school, and noting that Oakway currently does not have one, I #getthatjob would like to explore getting involved as much as possible in the extra-curricular life of the school. I note in the school's recent inspection report and the development plan that you kindly shared in the application pack that your focus over the next few years will be on Assessment for Learning (A4L). Having attended a number of workshops and led staff development sessions at my current school on A4L techniques I would be happy to share my expertise with colleagues at Oakway. If appointed and approval was given, I would look to start a weekly A4L newsletter to inform and equip both teaching and support staff. As an ambitious teacher my application to Oakway is motivated by two separate desires. The first is to gain experience in an overall more academically successful school so that I can progress to become Head of History and, eventually, Assistant Head in charge of Learning and Teaching. The second is that my family wishes to move closer to my parents. I grew up in Sheffield and therefore wish to return to my roots. In conclusion, Mr Abbott, I would hope to add to the pool of expertise and impressive reputation of Oakway School through my innovative approach to the teaching of History and infectious enthusiasm. Teaching is not about the dissemination of knowledge � although that, of course, is an aspect � it is about educating young people for the business of life. I would look forward to teaching and leading in, according to your recent Ofsted report, a school where students `really enjoy' being there, there is an emphasis on `quality rather than quantity', `there is a clear direction and impetus' and where #getthatjob `leadership and management are good'. I would look forward to be where I can be part of a team providing a beacon of outstanding practice. Please consider carefully my enthusiastic application. Yours sincerely, (Your Name) This letter would run to around two sides of A4 if set in 12-point Georgia in portrait mode. It, or letters like it, have given me around a 90% strike rate when applying for jobs! ______________ RESOURCES How to write a letter of application for a teaching-related job - http://teaching.mrbelshaw.co.uk/index.php/2007/04/30/how-to-writean-application-letter-for-a-teaching-related-job/ #getthatjob 2.4. Submitting your application Once your application is ready, spellcheck it and then print it out and give it to someone to read. Take onboard their criticisms if useful - pay particular attention if something's difficult to read or doesn't `flow' correctly. Sometimes it's easier to read it out to someone to notice these tricky elements. When it's completely finished, it's time to send it to the school. I used to recommend that you post it rather than email, but schools have become much better at dealing with the latter in recent years. If you do decide to email it, do the following: 1. Save the document in the oldest Microsoft Word format available to you that still keeps the formatting (usually this will be Word 97/XP) 2. Save it with a filename that indicates the job and your name -e.g. `Teacher of History covering letter (Your Name)' 3. Save it in PDF format. This is easy if you're using a Mac. If you're using Windows or Linux, search Google for `free PDF printer'. 4. Attach Both DOC and PDF versions of the application form (saved with a similar filename - e.g. `Teacher of History application form (Your Name)') and the covering letter to the email before you compose it. This saves forgetting to attach them and looking like an amateur! #getthatjob 5. Your subject should be something like `Teacher of History application (Your Name) 6. The body of the email should be brief and ask for confirmation that they have received your application and can open the files. If the Head's PA has sent you the application pack and signed it `Samantha Brown' (as in the Oakway example) then you have permission to use her first name - e.g. Dear Samantha, Please find attached my application form and covering letter for the position of Teacher of History at Oakway School. I would be grateful if you could confirm that you have received this email and can open the attachments successfully. :-) Regards, Your Name http://yourname.com/blog Once you've done this, all you can do is sit back and wait for the email or phone call that you've got an interview!2 If you don't get an interview then either (a) they had someone specific in mind and didn't want strong competition, or (b) something in your application form or letter put them off. There's no harm in asking them for feedback in this case. 2 #getthatjob 3. Strategies for interview success 3.1. Method acting One of the best pieces of advice given to me during my teacher training was that when in the classroom you should be `an enlarged version of yourself'. The same goes at interviews. Small interests become big passions. Smile a lot. Be interested and interesting. Without wanting to sound harsh, this may take some practice. So be a method actor! A method actor is someone who takes on the persona of the person he or she is playing in a film or play not just during filming or when on stage, but off-stage too. Robert De Niro is a famous method actor. On interview day, people expect you to be: � Nervous � A bit `stiff' or wooden � Overly-eager to please The person who is confident, affable and yet who doesn't exhibit these tendencies therefore stands out head-and-shoulders #getthatjob above the rest. That's important on interview day for teaching interviews where the tradition is for candidates to be herded around together. By `method acting' I mean: � Feel comfortable in your suit or the special clothes you are going to wear for interview. Wear them the day before and do some everyday activities so you don't feel strange wearing them. � Act confidently and smile more than usual in your interactions with people in the days leading up to the interview. Get used to `enlarging' yourself. � Teach lessons at your current school as though you were doing an interview lesson. Practice emphasising key points, building little recaps and plenaries into your lesson. Make the learning explicit. It's usual to feel some butterflies in your stomach on the morning of your interview. This isn't fear, it's adrenaline. Tell yourself that you need this to excel during the day. ______________ RESOURCES Method acting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_acting #getthatjob 3.2. Seven strategies Every person and every school is unique, but there are some strategies that can help you on interview day. Here are seven that I believe will help you: 1. Remember everyone's name. Take a notebook and write down the name of everyone you meet. You should already know the names of people like the Head, the Head's PA, the Head of Department, and so on. Write down some questions to ask the panel at the end of your interview. Feel free to add to these as you go around school and cross them off as they are answered. Remember that you are being interviewed all the time especially if, for example, you've been invited to have lunch with some of the members of staff. They're weighing you up. Be human, but don't give away anything negative about yourself. During the tour of the school mix-up your positioning. Sometimes be at the front asking at the questions; sometimes be at the back having a quick word with a student about what they're up to. These quick interactions with students are great for throwing into the conversation during your interview. Interviews by the student council or representatives are very tricky. They have to not only like you as a person but feel that you will help them get good grades. Don't even appear to be in the least patronising. 2. 3. 4. 5. #getthatjob 6. Think about what the obvious or easy thing would be to do with the topic they've given you to teach. Then use that as part of the lesson - the starter or plenary, for example, and push yourself for the main activity. Even if you crash and burn or the technology doesn't work you'll get brownie points for trying! 7. Be ready to talk about something over and above what you've put in your application letter. Have an ace up your sleeve - perhaps something you're working on at the moment? ______________ RESOURCES `Helen wants an Assistant Headship' - http://www.teachers.tv/video/ 27286 TES Career advice - http://www.tes.co.uk/topSection.aspx? navCode=247 #getthatjob 3.3. The art of questioning It's important not only to answer questions effectively, but to ask them. I remember one interview I was in where it was essentially the Head an I having a conversation about History. I'd found out that he'd gone to the same university as me. Although all of the interview questions were asked, I knew that I'd found what he was passionate about. I asked him questions back that allowed him to reflect on his own learning and experiences. Even if they don't admit it, people love talking about themselves. In fact, people find out a lot about themselves simply by answering questions that no-one's really asked them before. This self-discovery can play into your hands. Here's some examples of questions I've asked that have paid dividends: � Your school currently achieves 90% A*-C at GCSE. Over and above the academic achievements of your students, what would you say the qualities of an Oakway student are upon leaving the school? � I noticed when we were going around that there are interactive whiteboards in all of your classrooms. What was the thinking behind that? #getthatjob � Thank you for including an interview with the student council. I found it illuminating! Has the student council improved the life of the school? � What do you see as the main reason for including History in the school curriculum? They will no doubt ask you something similar to the last of these, so it's always good to throw it back at them! Sometimes the panel will give you the opportunity to say anything you haven't had the chance to say during the course of the interview. Instead of saying `no' or `I don't think so', tell them a story. Tell them how the position you're interviewing for fits a logical progression for you. Tell them how you'd be perfect for the school. Smile, make eye contact, shake everyone firmly by the hand. ______________ RESOURCES The Jobs & Interviews Pocketbook - available at Amazon.co.uk #getthatjob Conclusion I can be but the Sherpa on your journey. I have shown you a way, but you must climb to the top of the mountain by yourself. My final piece of advice would be for you to realise that schools are very flexible places, even if they do not appear so. I've been at interviews where Heads have appointed two people on a fulltime basis even though only one position was advertised. I've gone to a Head with a proposal and he's asked me to write myself a job description. I've negotiated starting on a higher pay bracket because of my postgraduate qualifications. I've got the only room with an interactive whiteboard in the department. The secret? Be confident. Ask questions. Do your homework.

Starkville Baseball Association is all about doing what it takes to make sure there is baseball offered to the area kids.
With that in mind, the league decided to change things up a bit this year in order to accommodate some of its younger players.
"We are doing some things to enhance our younger area," SBA president Randy Carlisle said. "This year we did a modified coach pitch with the 6-year-olds where they could take pitches, but if they couldn't hit it they would put it on the tee."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

10 running backs the Cowboys could target in the 2014 NFL Draft

10. Isaiah Crowell, Alabama State. The 5-11, 190-pounder could be an interesting late-round possibility. Crowell was named SEC Freshman of the Year in 2011 after rushing for 850 yards and five touchdowns at Georgia. But he was arrested the following summer on weapon charges. Although the charges were dropped, he was dismissed from the team. Crowell averaged 1,000 yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground over the last two seasons at Alabama State.

Eighteen hungry reviewers. 14,773 miles driven/flown. 341 joints visited. Countless bites of brisket, sausage, chicken, pork, white bread, potato salad, and slaw—and vats of sauce—ingested. There are only fifty slots on our quinquennial list of the best places to eat barbecue in Texas. Only five of those got high honors. And only one (you'll never guess which one in a million years) is the best of the best.
Snow geese, the Big Tree, sandy beaches and one gigantic chemical plant.
Texas is changing before our eyes, but fried pies, drive-in movie theaters, and other vestiges of earlier days are all around. To find these treasures, we risked life, limb, and cholesterol count-and had a blast from the past.
Summer's blast furnace is firing up. Luckily, Texas is a paradise of spring-fed pools, sparkling beaches, and more. Here are our picks for the best places to chill out, get wet, and go off the deep end. Plus extra web-only information!

Help for Web design/eyeball thingy
(For a web design apprenticeship project)
Does anyone else remember the website Wastedyouth.org? They used to have some very nice Photoshop tutorials, however, the site's down. Well, not QUITE down. Just check out the URL to see what I mean.
Did you check? Since I don't feel like manually looking through 200+ tutorials, could someone help me out?
I need a tutorial for a blinking metalic eye-type thing. Um... more specific? I want a round button that looks similar to a porthole with "metal eyelids." I also want to animate it so that when you move your mouse over it, the "eyelid" comes up and you see an eye/other effect below it. Some metal tutorials would also be great.
Thanks a ton to anyone who replies!http://4hcomic.com

That's pretty easy to do using Flash. Alls you gotta do is create a button and a movie clip. The movie clip will be of the doors closing. Use a mask layer above the button (or outline of your "porthole") and stick the movie clip under it. Set the actions panel to: "on mouse event gotoplay 1"
Or, you could make it using Java Script in HTM. It's easy enuff to find the right mouse over script online... just plug in your images. Make the part that moves an animated gif.
Umm, for making it look like metal, make your "pieces" (upper lid, lower lid) with Photoshop, I dont really know photoshop that well so I can't tell you how to make it look like metal, but im sure someone else can tell you how!

That is the focus of a new study recently published by neurologist Rivka Inzelberg in the Annals of neurology.
It was this case that gave rise to the field of neurology as we know it today.
neurology neu·rol·o·gy (nu-rŏl'ə-jē, nyu-)
The branch of medical science that deals with the nervous system and disorders affecting it.
The branch of medicine devoted to the study and care of the nervous system.

The Next 10 Years: Getting standards down so we can move on to the good stuff
Editor's note: This is the sixth installment of our The Next 10 Years series where industry insiders offer insights on smart grid issues and trends they expect to see in the coming decade. (The previous segments are linked at the end of today's story.) As always, we welcome your comments; please use the Talk Back form at the bottom of the page.
By Liz Enbysk
SGN Managing Editor
Echelon CEO Ron Sege laments that there are so many standards-setting bodies in the smart grid industry that effectively, we have no standards.
"If only," Sege says, "the smart grid industry could replicate how the Internet standards evolved." With the Internet, he says, 90% of the standards were handled by four entities.
Does Sege sound impatient? Maybe he is. He'd like to migrate from working on what he calls fairly pedestrian problems -- like how things plug together and what protocols we use to communicate on the grid - to the interesting problems. And he has a few of those in mind:
· How do we analyze data coming off grids and turn it into useful information?
· What kinds of visualization analytics can we apply?
· How do we incorporate machine-to-machine learning?
· How do we predict when and where the next outage or transformer overload will occur?
· How do we squeeze every ounce of efficiency from our utility grids?
That said, Sege does expect to see a smaller and clearer set of standards emerge in the next few years.
Jason Cigarran, VP of Marketing at Comverge, agrees industry standards will be on the front burner. "In fact," he says, "we expect interoperability and standardization to be major themes over the coming years as utilities look to build systems that can quickly and efficiently help all classes of consumer optimize energy usage."
Utilities also want to drive down the total cost of ownership, notes Rodger Smith, SVP and General Manager of Utilities at Oracle. They are looking to integrated technology solutions to do that for them. "Therefore," he says, "open, standards-based IT systems that allow for easy integration and data sharing, and that optimize back office solutions, will be more and more attractive in years to come."

Everybody has their own parameters for summer these days. Schools are gradually starting earlier every year, so many students' "last day of summer" was in early August, while the calendar says it's not until Sept. 22. But if you declare summer as "everything before Labor Day," this is the last weekend of the season. And it seems like many "summer" music festivals are coming in just under the wire — this weekend sees the return of several fests (Ohmstead, Whispering Beard Folk Festival, Swinefest, Taste of Blue Ash), as well as the debut of a brand new one — the Feywill Music Festival, which shines a spotlight on some of Greater Cincinnati's finest original artists Friday-Saturday at various venues in Covington's MainStrasse Village.
Tickets for the 11th annual MidPoint Music Festival went on sale this morning. Click here to get yours before everyone else.
Here's what MPMF producer Dan McCabe has to say about this year's event: "This is the fifth year CityBeat has operated Cincinnati's 11-year old MidPoint Music Festival. In each year we have pushed to expand the event with the help of our sponsors, the Over The Rhine neighborhood and music fans. MPMF is now a regional cultural event that shows off our city like no other. This September all eyes and ears will be on you Cincinnati! Now is your opportunity to participate. Get your pass while they last."
Perhaps the biggest news announced today was the addition of a new venue — a stage in the freshly remodeled Washington Park. The park venue is being called "MPMF.12's main stage," so expect many of the biggest acts to perform there. Fans can purchase advanced single-concert tickets for that main stage for the first time this year. The stage is open to fans of all ages.
The fest is also offering "Loyalty Presale All Music Access Passes" at a discount. Supplies are limited.
On June 6, the first lineup announcement will be issued. A "minimum of 20" of the 170 or so acts booked for the fest will be announced. (I've heard "rumors" about a couple; my only hint: "animals.")
Keep an eye on MPMF.com for the latest developments.
"The Bubblegum Masquerade," you say? Indeed. A local gentleman named Paul O'Moore has put together the Saturday show under the banner of his Vibrant Fringe Productions group, an essentially pro bono, one-man promotions organization founded to "exclusively support local and regional music" and to be "a partner in rebuilding Greater Cincinnati's music scene," according to the Vibrant Fringe Web site.
And looking at the generous lineup of local acts that O'Moore's ambitious two-stage, twelve-hour, multi-genre Masquerade plans to offer, he's clearly living up to his own mission statement.
Those jonesing for more music fest goodness after last weekend's spectacular MidPoint Music Festival have some great options this weekend. Bluegrass fans should be especially excited for a couple of them.
• The Bend in the River Art & Music Festival debuts this Saturday and Sunday in Lower Price Hill (2104 St. Michael St., next to The Sanctuary: Center for Education and the Arts). The festival/fundraiser runs 5-11 p.m. Saturday and noon-6 p.m. Sunday with the goal of bringing the community together (and showcasing it to others) and raising money for the Community Matters (cmcincy.org) and Education Matters (emcincy.org) organizations.
Along with food trucks and booths, beer from MadTree Brewing and Rhinegeist and a variety of vendors and artists showing their wares, local musical acts from a variety of genres will provide live music. Tim Caudill, Pike 27, Blue Caboose, Under New Order, The Part-Time Gentlemen and Ohio Knife perform Saturday, while Wild Carrot, Sibling Rivalry, Matthew Schneider and Phoenix (the local Rock cover band, not the internationally famous French Indie Pop group) play Sunday.
Admission to the Bend in the River Art & Music Festival is $7 or $10 for a two-day pass (Lower Price Hill residents receive a coupon to attend for free).
For more information on "Bend Fest" and the cause, visit facebook.com/bendfest and cmcincy.org.
• The DevouGrass Festival presents its first-ever event Saturday at the Devou Park Bandshell (1700 Montague Road, Covington). The family friendly event runs noon-dusk, and while there is no admission charge (even free parking is available throughout the park), organizers are asking for donations to the Children's Home of Northern Kentucky.
Along with food trucks, other vendors, various children's activities and performances by Circus Mojo and kids' fave Joel the Singing Librarian, DevouGrass will also feature sets by area Roots/Bluegrass outfits Blue Caboose (noon), Ma Crow and the Lady Slippers (3 p.m.), Hickory Robot (3 p.m.) and the Downtown County Band (6 p.m.).
For complete festival info, visit devougrass.com.
• The Versailles State Park Bluegrass Festival returns with a new location and name: the Friendship Music Festival at the Old Mill Campground in Friendship, Ind. (facebook.com/oldmillcampground), which hosts the very popular Whispering Beard Folk Festival annually and is only about an hour drive southwest of Cincinnati. Despite moving from the state park and changing the moniker, the fest will continue to spotlight some of the region's finest Bluegrass and Roots music practitioners.
On Saturday, the music starts at noon with a lineup featuring Mamadrones, Common Ground, Rural Route 2, Lee Sexton with John Haywood and Brett Ratliff, Whiskey Bent Valley Boys, The Tillers and Bradford Lee Folk & the Bluegrass Playboys. The music picks back up Sunday at 11 a.m. with Mt. Pleasant String Band, followed by James White & Deer Tick, Blue Mafia, Whipstitch Sallies, Rattlesnakin' Daddies and Tony Holt and the Wildwood Valley Boys.
Weekend passes for the Friendship Music Festival are $10; one-day passes are $5. Camping is available. Visit friendshipmusicfestival.com for full details.
Straight Line Stitch is pure Metal with a strong sound behind lead vocalist Alexis Brown. The band has released seven studio offerings; the most recent, The Fight For Our Lives, came out earlier this year. The album soared up the charts, reaching the Top 5 on Billboard's Heatseekers and cracking the Top 40 on the Independent Albums chart. CityBeat spoke with Alexis to preview the Mayhem Festival, which comes to Cincinnati's Riverbend this Wednesday.
One could argue that New Orleans is one of the most fun places on the planet. You cannot beat the food, laidback attitudes and genuine hospitality. Combine all of that with some of the most talented musicians in the world and you have the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
The New Orleans Jazz Fest kicked off in full swing last Friday, April 26, with thousands flocking to the New Orleans Fairgrounds to hear their favorite musical acts, see one-of-a-kind pieces from local artists and taste the flavors of New Orleans.
Local musical acts kicked off each morning on the 11 different stages around the fairgrounds, leading up to the first weekend's main acts, which included include John Mayer, Billy Joel and Dave Matthews Band, which closed out each night on the Acura Stage.
One of the most enjoyable parts of Jazz Fest for me each year is seeing "the bands before the main stage bands." I always walk away with new music to listen to from legends and discover exciting new stage acts. This year I fell in love in the Blues tents with guitar legends like Sonny Landreth, Guitar Slim Jr., Lil Buck Senegal, Deacon John and Little Freddie King.
Dr. John, who is always a Jazz Fest highlight performed on Friday and had an Ohio native backing him. Dr. John recently restructured his band before Jazz Fest and kept only one former member, trombonist Sarah Morrow who grew up near Pickerington, Ohio, just outside of Ohio.
The New Orleans Fairgrounds filled to the brim Saturday with attendees showing up early to get the best seats to hear Bill Joel belt out his hits. Joel closed out his set by playing with New Orleans' own Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Sunday morning brought cloudy skies that soon turned into torrential downpours. But that didn't stop Jazz Fest goers from staking out spots for Dave Mathews Band. The skies cleared enough to dry off before the second wave of rain, soaking DMB as they played through the rain for thousands of diehard Jazz Fest fans. The dancing in the mud surely created lifelong memories for some attendees.
If seeing the Dave Matthews Band play an epic set in the rain was not good enough, you could make your way over the Blues tent and see the King play the Blues like it is the end of the world. BB King electrified as he took the stage in the Blues Tent to close out the first weekend of the festival. The legendary Allen Toussaint joined King on stage and, as BB began his set, belted out an a cappella Blues tribute to the King himself. King ended the set with a toast to the audience: "If I can't be with you next week, think about me some time."
Widespread Panic closed out my last day at NOLA Jazz Fest with a rainy two and a half hour set for their loyal legion of fans, all of whom seemed perfectly happy to dance in the mud at the Acura Stage.
Yesterday kicked off the second weekend of the famous festival and will feature performances by New Orleans native Mia Borders and Patti Smith.
I will miss New Orleans' music and food dearly when I go and will start the countdown to Essence Festival in July, when I return to the Big Easy for more music and fun times.

The newly remodeled, freshly reopened Washington Park in Over-the-Rhine is shaping up to be one of the hottest music venues in the city. Last evening, the every-Wednesday "Bandstand Bluegrass" series kicked off with Jake Speed and the Freddies; tonight is the debut of the park's every-Thursday "Jazz in the Park" series (7 p.m., with Chris Comer and Napoleon Maddox of IsWhat?!); and tomorrow marks the debut of the R&B/Soul "Friday Flow" concerts, which will take place each Friday and begin with an appearance by fantastic Neo Soul singer Dwele (Selectas Choice DJs Rare Groove, Apryl Reign and DJ Pillo, as well as Under New Orders and Darris Sneed & The Pulse also perform at the 7 p.m. event).
And today it was announced that three of the biggest acts announced for September's MidPoint Music Festival will perform at Washington Park's new MPMF stage. A total of four acts will perform each night at the Park stage. The Washington Park shows will be accessible to those with MPMF All Music Access Passes or VIP Passes, or with "a la carte" individual tickets, which are on sale now.
Andrew Bird headlines the Washington Park stage on Thursday, Sept. 27. Tickets for that show only are $25. Grizzly Bear is the main MPMF act on the stage for Friday, Sept. 28 (single tickets: $30) and Sleigh Bells headlines the stage Saturday, Sept. 29 ($30). Click here for your ticketing options. Early Bird All Music Access and Loyalty Presale tickets are sold out. A limited number of All Music Access Passes ($69) and VIP Passes presented by CVG ($169) are still available.
Locally based independent label Grasshopper Juice Records has been presenting the Adjust Your Eyes Music & Art Festival, an annual showcase of local visual art and some of the label's artists (plus other Grasshopper-friendly acts from Cincy and around the region), since 2006. Along with showcasing some of the city's most creative original music makers, the event has raised thousands of dollars for organizations like American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen For The Cure and Friends for Chris Walker (in support of the beloved late local bassist).
After a 2011 festival at Newport's Southgate House (now Thompson House), the AYE fest (presented in conjunction with Far-I-Rome Productions and sponsor Soap Floats Recording) moves to downtown's Mainstay Rock Bar for this weekend's two-day blowout, once again spotlighting a diverse cross-section of musical styles and approaches.
The event runs tonight and tomorrow from 7 p.m.-2 a.m. and will feature more than 30 acts on both of the venue's stages throughout both nights, as well as art installations prepared by BUNK News. Admission each night is $7.
Here's the full schedule for tonight and tomorrow's AYE merriment. Click on each act's name for a link to more info and music samples.

The eerie humming sound that kicked off The Afghan Whigs' 1993 major label debut, Gentlemen (considered by many to be one of the best albums of the '90s), sounded mysterious to those who've never visited Greater Cincinnati. But those in Northern Kentucky and Cincy knew that rhythmic buzzing wasn't a swarm of bees or a loop of some old man snoring. To anyone who frequently traveled across the Roebling Suspension Bridge over the Ohio River, the sound was instantly recognizable as the sound created by the cars, buses and trucks driving across the bridge's distinctive blue grating. So in some ways, it makes perfect sense that this year's RoeblingFest, Saturday's daylong celebration of the 155-year-old structure, is showcasing some high quality musical acts to enhance the festivities.
When the sun rises at 6 in the morning and temperatures climb to 95 degrees by 9 a.m., it's impossible to sleep in while camping at Bonnaroo, which means your buzz never really wears off after the first night. If you have any hopes of surviving Bonnaroo, this is a critical time to hydrate with a morning brew and lots of water.
Lines for portalets stretch painfully far in the morning, but the graffiti inside each one accurately captures the essence of Bonnaroo spirit and almost makes the wait worthwhile. Graffiti common in every portalet includes crudely drawn pot leaves and bold assertions like "Smoke Weed" and "Get Laid," both of which are high on the priority list for most Bonnaroo patrons.
