So, many thanks to all the people who wished me luck yesterday for my interview at Dawson. It turns out they're looking for someone to replace a teacher who fell ill suddenly and is out on sick leave for an as-yet undetermined period of time. They've got members of the department covering two of her sections, but they need someone to cover the other two: a Tuesday / Thursday afternoon class and a Wednesday / Friday one.
All told, I think the interview went okay. I did my teaching bit (didn't get as far as I'd intended, but I never do, and that's okay), did the actual interview, killed my voice... but I think it went okay. There were 5 interviewers, and they drilled me pretty hard about my submitted syllabi and attitudes towards teaching. Some questions I simply couldn't answer, but I doubt I could have answered them unless I had experience teaching those submitted classes... which I don't. In any case, they'll get back to me within 10 days and tell me what's going on. I did my best, and that's all I can ask of myself. The ball's in their court now.
( Also Tuesday, I had some career counselling. It's amusing how it can tell you what you already know. )
Anyway, I've rambled on far too long. I'm going to bed, and you should too. (Unless, of course, you're reading this tomorrow morning, in which case, you should get on with your day and stop wasting time reading foolishness on my LJ!
