1. How can new teachers work out what school is right for them to apply to?   
2. What advice might you give about writing a personal statement for a new role? 
3. If a new teacher has been asked to teach a part of a lesson for their interview, how should they approach it?
4. How should new teachers best prepare for an interview, and what are your top tips for succeeding in a teaching interview?
5. Any final advice for teachers at the start of their career?
