I Have an Interview Next Week!

Last time, I wrote about going for an office skills test as a requirement of the job I've applied for. My scores weren't perfect, but I thought they were pretty good, and fortunately, I was contacted to schedule an interview.
I'm not sure how many people are still in the race with me, but I think a lot of them dropped out around the testing phase. I do know that there were nine interview slots to select from, but there may be fewer people than that.
I chose next Wednesday, but there are interview spots on Thursday, too, so I probably won't hear back from them until the following week. It's a "panel interview", which means I am going to talk with several people at the same time, rather than one person. Fortunately, I'm okay with talking to a group, since I was a teacher. I hope I make a good impression!

Thank you! I do have a few in mind, like what is the office culture like, typical dress, yadda yadda. It's a community college, and I used to teach there (on a different campus), so I know a bit already - hoping that will be an advantage.

Well, it's just a guess, based on how many interview appointments there were, but when I picked my day, I said any time was fine, and they put me in the earliest slot. That means there might be a chance I'm the only person on that day, but I can't be sure.

I'll admit, I did consider picking the last day so I could make the last impression, but I think if they like me, they will remember me.

This one is just an office job, but I did teach at that same school before. This is at the flight school, though. I don't know how to teach THAT, lol
