It's disappointing to be turned down for a job, but it's doubly so when you feel you never really hit your stride in the interview. Even more dispiriting is not making the interview in the first place. Gerald Haigh, a former headteacher and school governor, offers insider knowledge on how to present yourself - both in writing and in person - as the ideal candidate for the job. From deciding which posts to apply for and writing your application, right through to interview day and after, the Jobs & Interviews Pocketbook is a handy companion. There are plenty of books on applying for jobs and on interview technique, but this one focuses solely on schools. You may be looking for your first post in teaching, moving sideways or climbing the career ladder. If so, this is the book for the job.
