The 20000 Character Job Reference

Last week I had an interview for a Deputy Head Teacher post. I was successful (wooo!) and will be starting my new job in the Summer term.

I just wanted to extend my thanks and appreciation to SO many of you who gave some time to offer an endorsement via Twitter replies and blog comments after I requested some help.

One of the interview questions was about something successful I had instigated which I was proud of. I talked about this blog and then handed out printed copies of the collated Tweets and blog comments that you left for me to the panel. The response was suitably neutral for an interview. But I know it helped to back up what I said about bringing my network with me to the post.

The interview process was a great challenge – lesson, formal interview, school council interview, data analysis task and presentation – reading through your amazing comments gave me a great boost in confidence.

Once again thankyou so much if you contributed your 140 characters or more to #tomsinterview, you helped me turn it into #tomsjob and I will always be grateful for that.
