I can't recall doing a job interview in bike-gear but I know that I must be a ratshit interviewee because I've *never* gotten a job I've been formally interviewed for! -- Elsie.

Sounds like you were prepared to ride, not teach or interview. Another important part of the interview is the follow up. Give them a call or burn past! Maybe you could you have arrived earlier and changed... Goodluck with it regardless! However..... You teached before. Maybe there was a reason you moved on as I am sure there are other areas you would be great in. :-P |
