I don't know what came over me today. Earlier this morning, I'd gone for an interview, and it took more than 2 hours to get done with it, all the while, I didn't remember to take a photo of the event. Although, I wasn't allowed to be on my phone while the interview was going on.
I was informed that the interview would take place today by 10 am and at fifteen minutes to 10, I was already seated in the office waiting for the person who would conduct one for me. I was busy rehearsing some possible interview questions and answers, and also practising the topic I would likely take, if possible I was called upon to do a practical in teaching to confirm if I am really a teacher, as said in my CV.
While on that, I was given a paper to fill in my name, qualifications, and preferred subject to teach and to write an essay on the topic, "My Responsibilities as a Good Teacher." I finished that within 10 minutes because it's something I already have an idea of and I don't need to waste more time so we could move to the next on the agenda.
Afterwards, I was led to a class to meet one of the senior staff who checked through my essay and awarded me a 6/10 score. I was asked a few questions and told to practice my teaching skills by taking two subjects and picking any topics of my own. I picked the English language with the topic "Sentences", and Mathematics with the topic "Simplification". In the end, I did a good job according to her, while also pointing out the mistakes I made, which I held in the palm of my right hand so I wouldn't forget but to work on.

From there, I was directed back to the first office I was in, where I was given these rules to go through and see if they were something I could adapt to, especially for those that weren't suitable for me.
I slowly read through the rules and smiled at some because they are something I wouldn't be able to do without, like not using lipsticks or putting on mini-skirts...for God's sake, these are something I do and shouldn't be disallowed all because I needed a job.
Then, we moved to the last part, where I was given a letter of appointment to start next week Monday. The pay is a good one; in fact, it was above my expectations and still okay for a place like where I am. I also was told I would be leaving the school by 3 pm every day except on Fridays when I'd close early.
But the not-so-good part was that I would be wearing suits every Monday. Something I have never worn before, and a job would want me to wear it. Right now, I am still thinking if I should go with the offer or not but was told to resume next week if at all I would accept such an offer, I don't think wearing suits would be something I'd like and even at that, the school would have to give me time to get a good one and start learning to put on suits.
