Hi,
I am doing Cert III, and in the next 3 days I will have a job interview at a local crèche that look after refugee children while their parents are learning English in the same location, different building.
What questions should I expect in the job interview for this workplace?
What is the dress code for job interview for assistant position?
Thank you so much.

In regards to a creche, it may not be approved service so it may not necessarily follow the National Regulations as well as the EYLF. So, in that case in regards to the job interview, you may get asked if you have had any prior experience working with children, activity ideas, work hours etc. The questions may not be as formal as you would expect from an LDC. So, don't stress too much over it. You'll be fine!

As for dress code, smart casual... black pants and a nice top with enclosed shoes...

Good Luck!

Let me know how it goes!
