And if you need any mom references, check with Freddy.

Do people actually do that, or is it just in movies? One way or the other -you clean up real nice, so I’m sure any outfit you put together will look lovely.

Momcat, I will definitely be in touch when it gets closer to interview time! Can I email you my resume for feedback?
I love blog reading moms!

As long as you’re in “appropriate” teacher clothes for the culture at that school, you should be fine. (Maybe think of what you would wear to “Back to School Night”, or whenever you first meet the parents…) \.
E-mail me if you want more specific ideas on what to say during an interview.

If you’re going to feel hopelessly silly in a suit, wear a nive outfit: dress pants or skirt, dress shirt or tailored sweater, and pearls or something would be fine, too. As someone who interviewed at a lot of places, I found a suit didn’t help or hinder. All the jobs I got I got wearing nice, non-suit outfits. And if you’re a non-suit person, be who you are. You probably don’t want to work at a place that highly values suits anyway.

I wore my skirtsuit to the job fair, as did practically everyone else. Can you make your fabulous suit look a little more matronly with a blah-type blouse? Or perhaps you could give it a button-makeover?
My friend got a really nice skirtsuit at Target, complete with a looow Target pricetag.
Hope that helped.
