Casual Job interview for certificate III in early childhood and care.
Casual Job interview for certificate III in early childhood and care.
Hi All,
I will be finishing my Certificate III in another two weeks. Also my interview is scheduled with one of the childcare centre next week. Since i am new to childcare jobs i'm really not aware what the interview is going to be like. Frankly saying this is my first ever interview. I am very very nervous . Can somebody suggest me how is the interview process going to be? i mean, what questions the director or recruitment consultant might ask? i tried searching on google like what questions will be asked on interviews. i found couple of them, but still i'm in dilemma. I would really appreciate if anyone would guide me about the interview question that will be asked in a childcare centre. Looking for a reply ASAP.

Hi! How exciting! Your very first interview! Try not to stress out, take a few deep breaths and remain calm... Easier said than done right!
Ok so during the interview, you will probably be asked questions related to your experiences in childcare, have you worked in a centre, your duties/responsibilities etc.About yourself - such as why you chose this industry, your strengths, your weaknesses, etc.
The following will also help you:

If you haven't worked in a centre before don't worry - just talk about your work placement and what you did there, what you learnt etc.
Hope this helps!

Hi Lorina,
I really had some doubts, because this is my first job and lots of confusions going around.. my employer sent me the employment documents which I need to sign and send it back.. but so far I haven't asked anything about the package details.. this is a casual job.. can you please let me know when is the right time to ask about salary details? is it before sending all the signed documents or after???

I'm so happy to hear that you got the job!! Woohoo!!
Congratulations!!
In regards to pay details is there anything mentioned in the employment details? If nothing in regards to pay is mentioned then you can sign the documents then ask about your salary. Just remember before you sign any document that you read everything clearly and make you have an overall understanding of what you're signing...
