Advice and answer examples written specifically for a Reading Teacher job interview.
5. What are your career goals?
How to Answer
This question should always be answered honestly and should incorporate natural next-steps in your career. The interviewer will want to see that you are willing to commit to this particular role for the near future, so be careful with how you phrase wanting to one day move on to another position, if that is the case.

Rachelle's Feedback
Good start! I see you have a lot of passions, which may be causing your answer to jump around slightly. Try sticking with a couple of specific and measurable goals, and then give a high-level overview of how you plan to achieve these career goals :)
