Going for a reception job interview on friday. Are there any typical questions they may ask me about the foundation stage? Have worked in reception class before but I'm now early years trained.

Thankyou

Sorry purple I don't know, make sure you know all the learning areas and possibly how they might link to every child matters. Just a thought¬!
Good luck too!

Not really sure I can help either, but early learning goals and foundation profiles sound vaguely familiar.

I didn't get the job, no one got appointed for the job in the end, but that doesn't make me feel any better. I don't know whether to just give up on teaching now or carry on applying for jobs till july.

Thanks guys not sure what I'm going to do yet, think I'll wait till the new year to make any decisions.

Nutty I'm am still doing the odd day here and there of supply, but I'm fed up with supply and fed up with agencies that don't really care about you. Have looked into teaching English to adults, so my experience at Kip Mcgrath may help.
