Becoming a teaching assistant is an excellent way to start a career in the education sector. As a teaching assistant, you will be asked to provide support to a teacher in the classroom, which allows them to focus on instructing their students.
A teaching assistant will help the teacher to plan, organise, and deliver each lesson to students. They will also work closely with students, monitoring their behaviour and helping them understand each lesson.
In the hunt for a new job, creating your CV and applying for vacant positions is the easy part. The real challenge comes when you are invited to attend a formal job interview, as this can turn even the most confident of candidates into nervous wrecks.
