TJ thought his interview went terribly, but TJ always thinks things go poorly when they involve him. He is very hard on himself. Last night he had a lot of "i should have saids" go through his mind. A few things he would have liked to have done differently comes with many practices of interviews. He wanted to connect his answers more to other responses and also use his past expereinces and achievements to talk about what he will do as principal. He feels like he let down his head principal who told him to go for the job. I told TJ that his principal sees all the good he does day to day and that one interview will not let him down.
Anyway, TJ is glad it is over and spending some time hanging out with friends last night helped take his mind off of his interview. He even ate and didn't throw anything up! The superintnedent said they have 6 interviews to conduct on Tuesday and they will make a decision some time next week. TJ is kind of embarassed to teach with the two teachers that interviewed him and he is embarrassed to see his principal. I am sure it didn't go that poorly!

Best of luck, TJ! Don't sweat the interview too much. I've never walked out of an interview feeling like I nailed it. And the one interview I ever thought I did well in was the one that didn't result in a job offer. I think we're all our worst critics, so you never really know how you did in an interview until the guy on the other side of the table tells you.
