So I didn't get the long term sub interview but it was a great experience. The district went with a candidate who was completing another long term sub position. I had a panel of four people: a principal, librarian, library aide, and unknown. The questions were very brief; 8 total and addressed things such as classroom management, new programs, end of the year procedures, etc.
My VT interview was an interesting experience. I had the interview over Skype with the two school principals; middle school and high school since its for a 6-12 grade library position. They broke the ice with me by instructing where to look so that it looked like I was looking at them. The questions were very engaging and they loved hearing about my ideas for working with technology. The middle school is developing a 1-1 laptop program and the high school has multiple laptop and iPad carts as well as a central computer lab. The middle school principal had a lot to ask! They asked about my experience working with students of this age level and teachers. Teachers are really trying to use more technology and they need a librarian that's willing to facilitate training. I felt pretty good after the interview and I had the right feeling! I got a call today requesting to visit the school in VT! I am going up the week of April 8th. If anyone has any advice for second interviews, please share! I am really excited because I like everything I have heard about this school.

First set of interviews
I have exciting news to share followers! I have procured my first couple job interviews within this past week and I am very ecstatic to begin interviewing for my dream career.
I received an email on Wednesday requesting to set an interview with a grades 6-12 school in Vermont. This will take place in 10 days over Skype.
I also procured an interview for a long term sub position in my area. I still have to call the school back to set up the interview; sometimes juggling schedules is difficult.
I am very excited for these opportunities. I am pooling my resources and preparing for both interviews. If you have any friendly interviewing advice, please share! I appreciate any and all guidance. For now, I am researching both schools; formulating questions, and fine tuning my smile.
