Ready to give up
I'm seriously ready to give up on teaching. I'm so tired of looking for a job. I don't really seem to be getting anywhere with interviews. Even when I get them, I screw them up and don't get a second one. The only thing I can hope for at this point is for the teaching market to pick up and open up with more jobs. I think until then, I won't get anywhere. I just don't know what to do in the meantime... It's just depressing most days.
Sorry for the debbie downer post. I just am so done with this all right now... and I'm working at the elementary school I interviewed at and they are doing the second round interviews.

I basically have the problem that I can think through something, but I can't for the life of me answer questions on the spot. Give me ten minutes, and I can give an amazing answer. Interviews don't work like that. So a lot of ums come out, and I can't remember words that I want to use. I even made practice interview questions and answered them all. It helped, but not enough.

Having interviewed a lot of people I will say that I would feel a little put off if a candidate had to refer to notes during the interview. That would tell me they are not prepared for the interview. However if a candidate asked if it were ok to take notes during the interview I would be impressed.
Don't be afraid to ask for a moment when they ask you a question. If they ask Can you tell me about a time when.... what was the outcome? (or whatever) It is ok to say let me think about that for a moment. I would much rather see a candidate think a question through rather than give me something that is off the top of his/her head.
The person doing the interview knows that you are nervous, who isn't nervous during interviews?! Just take a deep breath and be the best you that you can be. I can tell you I have hired my fair share of people who impressed me with just being themselves and perhaps didn't have 100% of the skills I was looking for.
