Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Hi everyone ,

I had passed my first round of interview and I'm going to have my second one next week. And for the next interview, I was expected to interact with children for 30min and a behavioural interview, and I am very nervous about it!

As I do not have experience working as a casual, also it has been a few months since I had my last placement , I would really appreciate having some tips or advice from anyone. I really really hope I do well in my second interview!

Thank you so so much!

I think it may be referring to Belonging, Being and Becoming?

First off congratulations!!!!

Here are some tips and strategies to keep in mind:

Staff and Families

Listen to what your room leader and fellow staffs tell you.
Show initiative.
Greet parents with a smile.
Introduce yourself to families.
During pickups, if the room leader is busy talking to parents briefly about what their child did during the day.
If a parent has questions or concerns about their child, direct them to the room leader.

Personal Attitude

Behave in a mature manner and use appropriate language.
Be polite and communicate clearly.
Have a positive attitude, show interest and enthusiasm.
Respect the centre’s guidelines, follow policies and procedures.
Listen carefully and follow all instructions.
Apply your skills and knowledge where appropriate.
Show initiative.

Dress Code / Personal Hygiene

Follow the dress code. Typically smart casual wear such as black long pants and a polo t-shirt. It some centres a uniform may be provided. Wear a name badge (if provided) and pay attention to your personal hygiene.
Wear a broad brim hat while outside at all times.
Long hair should be tied up and kept out of your face.
Remove dangling earrings.
Cover up tattoos if needed (if they are inappropriate for children).

Attendance

Be punctual and on time.
Arrive 15 minutes before your due to start.
If you are running late, ring the centre and advise them.
If you are unable to attend it’s best to contact the centre director at the earliest to let them know

Clarifying Matters

Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
If you don’t understand something or don’t know what to do ask the room leader.
If you have any concerns or problems speak to the room leader or centre director.

Health and Safety

Wash your hands regularly throughout the day.
Use gloves when handling food, wiping noses etc.
Report any accidents/incidents to a staff member immediately.
Clean up spills etc.
Become familiar with the centre’s health and safety procedures.

Hope this helps!

Let me know if you have any further questions and keep me updated on how it goes!!

Good luck!!

Hi Lorina,

Thank you so so much for your prompt reply. I have passed my second interview!
I received a call from them today and they asked me to discuss about my contract with them next week.
I was wondering is there any specific things I should be aware of? As this is my very first job and I do not know what to expect

Thank you so so much again!

Emma ^^
