3 strengths that are overused in teaching interviews
Let’s jump straight in - overused strengths for teachers are:
I’m very organised
I’m hardworking
I’m a teamplayer
While they may be true - they are easy and so, they tend to be overused with candidate after candidate outlining the same strengths. If you want to SHINE - you can choose to outline one or two unique strengths that you have. If you find that you can do a few things to get you thinking.
Here’s what to do instead
Ask others what your strengths are and why they choose that strength for you
Journal about the times that you stepped up/ achieved something /
Predict what colleagues may say about you and elaborate on that
Do a psychometric test and elaborate on what you found out.
