(PART 2) Thoughts to Consider for the ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Job Interview

[@yvettedavenport6969]

I watched both videos and didn’t get the job. I did get called by the Superintendent a week later telling me not to give up on my quest to be an administrator. Then four months later, I got the job from the same school district without having to go through the interview process again. My interview made such a lasting impression that I was hired as an assistant principal at another school in the district. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

[@APandNewPrincipalsAcademy]

That is good news Yvette. Congratulations and much success to you in your new leadership capacity.

[@hannahboyd8281]

Principal Kafele, I watch these two videos many times and took copious notes and I GOT THE JOB! Thank you for your videos and the invaluable content you provide.

[@sharonum]

I did not get the assistant principal position. My interview went great! I felt confident and overly prepared. I listened to several of your videos (which tremendously helped), and I did three mock interviews: with my assistant superintendent, my principal, and a teacher. On the day of my interview, I walked into the room confidently, dressed for the position, and shook and smiled at everyone in the eye. It was a panel interview of five people including the newly elected principal. The panel asked between 15-18 questions, and I was pretty confident in my responses using the STAR method (when it was appropriate). I’m writing for a different reason: I was informed the job was mine, but the superintendent needed a way to pay the high school football coach more money. The superintendent also didn’t want the coach to leave the system and hiring him for the AP fixed all his problems. I received your books in the mail. I will keep applying and hopefully the school that needs me is right around the corner. 😊🙏🏽

My AP position (beginning this July!) came after leaving my previous district (and many denials) and gaining experience in my current role. Admittedly, a couple of the denials were due to lack of preparation…others were for factors out of my control. I still watched your content, though….and remained positive. Five years in a new role strengthened my leadership skills. This interview was like none other…I felt a connection with each panel member. Heck, I felt a connection with the front office secretaries! When I sent my “Thank You” email-and the principal said “It was a pleasure meeting you”-I felt that. I was sure. All this to say…the denials may come, but stay focused. Experience is key, plus preparation and knowledge from Kafele 😊 Your “Yes” will come…I’m ready to assist my principal! #OnFire #BAM
