5 reasons why you have NOT been selected for a teaching position
Have you sent your resume and not received a response about the teaching position you applied for? Many people are applying for these jobs, so it can take a while for the school or company to decide whom to interview. However, it might be worth looking into the reasons if you keep applying and don't hear back after a few months.
The first step is to figure out why you haven't been chosen for the teaching position.
And, yes, it is difficult to determine the exact reason because schools and companies rarely call to inform you of your rejection.
So, in this post, we'll go over the most common reasons why you're not getting the teaching job you deserve. Take notes for your next teacher-selection process.
1. Lack of qualifications
According to data from the Employment Report in Spain 2021, made by Adecco and Infoempleo, 30% of companies reject candidates for not being well qualified. So, it's important that you only apply for a teaching position if you are sure that you meet all the requirements.
2. Digital Footprint
In today's world, it's easy to get a glimpse into someone's life beyond their CV - just look at their social media profiles. You can learn about their behavior, opinions, and much more. That's why being mindful of what you post or say online is crucial. In fact, a Microsoft survey found that 70% of HR managers consider your online activity when evaluating you as a job candidate.
At CVExpress, we can create your LinkedIn profile so that you make an excellent first impression when recruiters look you up: https://www.cvexpres.com/perfil-linkedin.html.
3. Lack of soft skills
Soft skills are increasingly in demand, especially from teachers, because you must have excellent communication skills, assertiveness, leadership, and empathy in a teaching job. Failing to demonstrate these skills could result in a recruiter rejecting your application outright.
4. Not knowing how to express yourself in the interview
Sometimes when you are interviewed for a job, you might get nervous. This can make it difficult to speak clearly, and you may also find it difficult to express yourself. This can lower your rank in the eyes of the recruiter and may be one of the reasons why you haven't been called for the position of teacher to which you applied. The best thing to do is to relax, be natural, and avoid rigid movements.
5. A CV that does not pique interest
The first impression is always important, and in the eyes of recruiters, your CV is the first peek. To succeed in a job interview, your presentation of your experience and skills must be clear and concise. This means you can only advance in the selection process if your presentation is up to par. You should submit a resume with a significant impact and include a cover letter.
Recruiters are usually very selective when hiring new teachers, and these were the most common reasons. Now you can ensure you are ready to showcase your teaching skills in the next selection process.

Your internship is over; you're now a teacher with no safety net! Here are six suggestions to help you, a new teacher, to have a successful rest of the school year.
First and foremost, congratulations!
After you've mastered the first few months of a teaching job, it's time to reflect.
Persevere
You may have wondered if it would have been easier if you had another job. But teaching is an essential and meaningful job that not only will your students appreciate, but it can also improve society. Stay alert, and don't let any obstacles derail you!
Question your routine
Now is the time to consider what working practices you would like to improve: How can you improve your self-organization? What changes would you like to make to your lessons? Is the process of submitting and returning assignments or assessments efficient? Do you get along well with the available learning material? What classroom rules would you like to apply?
Take constructive advice
Now that you have gone without a lesson for a while, it is time to seek feedback again. Request that experienced colleagues review your lessons or draft lessons and provide feedback. Determine which advice will benefit you and which won't.
Make your lesson planning organic
Do you prefer to organize your lesson on paper, slides, or PowerPoint? A full presentation will only improve your class if it is properly organized and legible.
Create consistent positive teaching
Students learn best when they are at ease in their classes. This can be accomplished by balancing routine and variety in your teaching units. A teacher who is enthusiastic about the subject instills curiosity in their students. Transparency in what is expected of students and positive language is critical for effective classroom communication.
Find a middle ground
It is easy to procrastinate at the end of the day because there is still work to be done in every teaching job. But, to avoid this, try to maintain consistency by scheduling nights, even during the week, when you don't touch the mountain of papers and instead spend time with friends or family, playing sports, or having a hobby. Nobody, least of all their students, benefits from a stressed-out teacher!

Before going to a teacher interview, many questions come to mind. One of them is how to approach the interviewer in a teacher interview. Should you formally address them? These are simple questions but are well-founded.
After all, the interview is the last step before being chosen or not for a teaching position. Understandably, you should avoid making mistakes that may risk your candidacy.
Knowing how to address the interviewer in a teacher interview is a good idea. If you have doubts, don’t worry, we are here to assist you with guidelines you can follow for your next job interview.
Guidelines for approaching the interviewing in a teacher interview
As a general rule: it is best to address the interviewer formally. This is a great way to show respect, even if they are younger than you. It is better to be overly respectful rather than assume a level of trust that hasn’t been given to you.
There are some exceptions, though:
- When the interviewer explicitly asks to be called by their first name. In these cases, you should do so even if they are older because continuing to address them by honorifics would be disrespectful.
- If you ask them if you can call them by their first name and they answer yes. We do not recommend this;they should bring it up themselves.
- If the school has a closeness philosophy for their teachers. If so, you can approach the interviewer more casually, indicating that you know the institution’s values. This will prove you are well-informed for the teacher interview.
Always opt for honorifics if you have doubts about addressing the interviewer in a teacher interview. Sometimes, the interviewer might ask you to address them more casually if they feel comfortable with it.
This is regarding verbal communication, but you must also know how to approach them through body language (non-verbal communication).
How to approach the interviewer in a teacher interview – Non-verbal communication
This is a critical point in an interview because
body language reveals much about a person. Through it, you can
express if you are confident or not, if you are respectful, and even if you’re being truthful.
Here is some advice to put into practice:
- Sit up straight. Avoid sitting at the edge of your seat (shows insecurity), but don’t lean too far back on it (disrespect).
- Give a good handshake when greeting the interviewer, make eye contact, and smile.
- Don’t get too close to the interviewer to avoid invading their personal space.
- Look out for your hands, feet, and legs’ movements. Involuntary movements show a lack of confidence.
Following these simple guidelines, and you will show your best side and avoid nerves playing tricks on your teacher interview.

The countries that need teachers in 2023 are many. Nations worldwide need help to meet their need for qualified teachers.
This includes countries not only in our continent but in the rest of the developed world, not just developing nations. The lack of qualified teachers may hurt the quality of education and limit economic development.
According to UNESCO statistics, in 2021,
more than 60 million children and youth worldwide missed elementary-level education due to a teacher shortage.
Moreover, teachers face challenges in many countries, including developing ones, such as low salaries and lack of resources and support.
This article will explore some
countries looking for teachers this year and where you can contribute with your knowledge.
Countries in Europe in need of teachers
Four European countries need teachers, mainly in
maths, technology, and science. Spain breaks the mold, and, in this country, the teacher shortage is focused on teaching English and in rural areas.
The other countries are:
Germany
A
study in 2018 revealed that by 2025, the country would need 105.000 teachers to meet the demand for elementary-level schools. However, only 70 thousand people will be qualified to fill those positions in that timeframe.
This means Germany will need more than
35 thousand teachers. Thus, in 2023 it is one of the countries in need of teachers.
UK
A 2022 report states that the
UK will need around 10,000 new teachers to cover the needs of elementary and middle schools. This has been aggravated this year due to low salaries and the professional dissatisfaction of many teachers.
More than just a teacher problem, this has become a national issue. In fact, the British Teachers’ Union called a strike for better pay this week.
Read “How to work as a teacher in the UK.”
France
France is another country that has seen an increasing need for teachers to meet its educational needs.
With 4 thousand unassigned positions, it has become another country looking for teachers.
Even after
teachers’ salaries rose by 20%, the lack of qualified teachers is still an issue.
If you are a teacher looking for a job abroad, you may try your luck in one of the mentioned countries. Especially in Germany because, according to
Eurostat,
teacher salaries range from 50 thousand to 60 thousand euros.
To paint the picture, a vacancy for a teaching position in a multicultural kindergarten in Berlin pays between
2.200 and 2.400 euros. On top of that, the working hours are 38 hours per week.

In a teacher job interview, you might be asked: What are your teaching objectives?
To avoid drawing a blank, let’s go through some examples.
Effective teachers
create learning opportunities for all students, motivate them, and push them to improve. For these teachers, the student’s learning potential is the main focus, and their flexibility and reflection skills are the tools to enhance it further.
However, effective teachers’
impact goes beyond any classroom. Not only do they contribute to the student’s learning, but they also inspire them to pave their paths. In this, we can find one teacher objective:
We all want to be
EFFECTIVE. Felling we are developing minds and deserve respect and attention makes a huge difference. Just then, teaching is gratifying! And you’ll be able to fulfill your objectives as a teacher.
Here are 4 objectives for effective teachers and some advice on achieving them:
Quality learning
One of our objectives as teachers is quality learning. We must teach the curriculum and test if the students are ready for the next grade. However, this should not be the ultimate goal of teaching.
Effective teachers aim beyond that; they have a long-term vision where quality learning is emphasized. That type of learning focuses on perfecting
the necessary skills to thrive in today’s world.
Goals such as
driving students to think critically, solve problems, communicate, and create are what every teacher should have for an objective, no matter the expected content or learning results.
The community as a whole
The classroom is still where we spend the most time with our students. However, students are just some of the people to connect with.
No matter the context: school, college, institution, etc., our colleagues and administration are a community that can grow through empathy, communication, and collaboration.
Being close to your school should be among your objectives as a teacher. Not only that, but feeling a sense of belonging, collaborating, and working to benefit the community and making a positive impact.
So, thinking that being active within this community would serve no purpose and that our energy, knowledge, and skills should be saved for our students, we will not be EFFECTIVE. And achieving that effectiveness is within teacher objectives.
The power of coworking is vast;
when we collaborate, share, and learn from one another, we can discover meaningful knowledge.
Our commitment and concern to becoming effective teachers must benefit all community members.
Ask yourself: How can you benefit your school? Think about real-life projects that could serve your school, new ideas and tools to better the communication between students and parents, improving digital citizenship, etc.
Involve all students and encourage them to collaborate. Communicate regularly with your colleagues, share your ideas listen, set goals, and plan together to make your school more special.
Experience
Gaining experience is another goal within objectives for teachers. Experience alone is not enough, but learning through it matters.
This type of learning results from teacher innovation, continuous reflection through actions and evaluation, and choices to improve.
Learning is illimited and has become more critical in this ever-changing world. If you stick to a routine and stop your mind from thinking and innovating, you will crash and burn.
Within your objectives as a teacher,
make sure you take time for yourself. Read, connect with other teachers, participate in professional development programs, and stay current with relevant teaching ideas, resources, and tools.
As you engage with learning opportunities,
remember your students’ needs and interests, as well as your obstacles and how you can apply such learning in your context.
Never doubt your potential when practicing what you’ve learned. Your innovation might be invaluable. So learn from feedback and reflection to improve.
Wellness
Continuing with more objectives for teachers, it’s important to highlight how effective teachers
must balance work and personal life. This contributes to their wellness, making them more energized and productive.
Effective teachers take time for themselves and their families.
For these teachers, time management is their main concern. They value planning, commit to organizing and try to make their lives simpler and more meaningful.
If you want to thrive and not just survive in your profession,
admire your work more and enjoy the moments you spend with your students aiming for your well-being.
Draw a line between your professional and personal lives, and don’t live at the expense of the other. Don’t let your professional life ruin your relationships with others or yourself.

Getting a
teaching job interview takes work.
Therefore, if you were selected, you should prepare yourself properly
; one of the critical points is understanding the school’s philosophy. This will give you a general vision of what to expect if you get the job and help you stand out in a teacher interview.
Now, the million-dollar question:
How to know the school’s philosophy and story where you will be interviewed?
Well,
fortunately, there are several ways to find out. As a matter of fact, there are three, and we’ll explain them below.
3 easy ways to learn a school’s philosophy
When
preparing for a teacher interview, you can’t overlook researching the school’s history and philosophy. Believe it or not, it may determine whether you get hired or not…
Here are
3 easy ways to do this research:
Check the school’s website.
Most schools have
a website stating their mission, vision, and values. This information will help you better understand the school’s philosophy and prepare for the teacher interview.
Also, school websites usually have a section for the school’s history, so, as they say, two birds with one stone.
Some schools even publish a brief description of their staff,
which can be helpful when getting to know the interviewer if HR is included in the report.
Talk to current teachers and/or students.
You can
speak to current teachers and students to learn the school’s philosophy. It can also give you an idea of what it’s like to work there. They can provide
valuable information about the school’s philosophy and culture.
We mainly recommend speaking to older teachers.
They are the ones who can provide the most information. You must also contact alums and current students to check for any changes throughout the years.
Investigate the Internet and media.
Many schools have a social media presence, such as
Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, where you can
find valuable information about the school, like events, news, activities, and projects.
You can also
search local media to check if the school has been mentioned in news or articles related to news and articles related to its philosophy and approach.
This kind of research is very effective because it gathers third-party opinions, giving
you a new perspective on the school’s philosophy and history. These might be simple aspects, but they are more than helpful.
As you can see, learning a school’s philosophy is easy;
you can even obtain it from the comfort of your home. Now, if you want first-hand information, interviews are the best option.
