So, you want to take the TExES Master course in two weeks or less…

“Don't do it!”

You’ve worked so hard all these years -- don’t shortchange yourself on your exam. Allow for the 4-day delivery time and the full 6 weeks to take the course. Study hard and get that 280 or 290…the folks interviewing you for that teaching job will definitely be impressed. Obtaining those favorable teaching jobs is very competitive -- especially at the elementary level -- a high test score will definitely be a great advantage to you. If you are short of time and feel that your back is against the wall, you might try our system (read about such a success story in the testimonials section) but we can’t offer you the money-back guarantee unless you allow the full six weeks.

If you want my advice on how best to prepare in less than 6 weeks, give me a call at 409-962-3100--mornings during the week or afternoons on the weekend.

I have experience in industry and have been in situations where I did the interviewing for jobs. If you’d like to benefit from my real-world experience, please read on...

Remember that interviewers will be talking to many candidates during the day. You must make yourself stand out in some positive way. Have a definite plan as to how you are going to accomplish this--otherwise your time is wasted.

Be prepared!!! Allow yourself an entire day to prepare and practice a five to seven minute advertisement about yourself... explain why you are going to be an excellent teacher. in this exercise, include those life experiences which have taught you how to teach and deal with children. Bring a portfolio of things to show the interviewer--everyone has significant life accomplishments--don't be shy about this.

Take control of the interview. Anticipate the obvious questions and include your answers to them in your advertisement. By doing this, you keep the interview at your pace, not theirs. Some of the obvious questions include:

• Why do you want to teach?
• How do you expect to live on a teacher's salary?
• How do students learn and how should teachers teach?
• How are you going to be able to control students who are bigger than you?

Take thorough notes immediately after each interview. Remember, your ultimate goal should be to get yourself in the position to be able to decide which job offer you are going to take--your notes will be of great value.

Within one week--preferably one day--write a short letter to each person who interviewed you. Use your notes to make a personal comment and include your resume. This will drive home the fact that you stand above the other candidates.

I hope these points have made an impression on you and will benefit you in some way.

Sincerely,

Art Williams
