Hi Joshi,

Welcome to Aussie Childcare Network!

The following article will give you an idea on the types of questions you may be asked:

Preparing For An Interview

Here are some more questions you may be asked:

Post by trixstubbs -

I've been going to Casual Childcare Interviews (Cert 3 and Diploma) this month and some of the questions they asked me were:

- What do I understand about Mandatory Reporting?
- What do I think is my role as a Casual? How can I take on this role when I arrive in a centre?
- My experience with challenging behaviour.
- My experience with challenging parents.
- Strengths / What can I contribute to a company / centre? So far, I haven't had an interviewer ask me about my weaknesses or what I want to improve on, but do prepare for this as well.
- What will I do when there is an injury or accident?
- Conflict Resolution
- How you work in a team? (How to tackle conflict within the team)
- Experience with children with additional needs

I think interview questioning these days are very focused on situations / scenarios - how to prevent, what to do during, what to do after, etc.

So, it's best to have a read through these questions and be prepared...

Good Luck!
