The Interview & Final Selection
The interview feels stressful, but it’s more about confirming your suitability than grilling you.
What Happens in a Government Teaching Job Interview
- The main focus is on your confidence, basic teaching philosophy, and suitability for a teacher’s role.
- Standard questions can include:
- Why do you want to be a teacher?
- How would you handle a difficult classroom situation?
- What are your strengths as an educator?
Dress neatly and professionally. Polished appearance adds to your confidence.
Remember: If you’ve passed the test and cleared document checks, the interview is mostly a formality. The committee wants to confirm you are who you say you are and check your communication skills.
After the Interview
Once you clear the interview:
- You’ll get a job offer letter, usually sent by postal mail to the address you provided.
- Double check all personal details before submitting documentation, so there are no delays.

Secret Tips for Getting Selected

- Save and organize: Keep all documents, certificates, and receipts scanned and organized. This cuts your application time.

Common FAQs
Can I get a teaching job after Matric?
No, not anymore. Where matric qualifications were enough many years ago, today’s competition means you need at least a bachelor's, and usually a master's, to get selected for teaching roles. Matric-level jobs may exist for non-teaching support staff only.
What if I have a 16-year (BS) degree in Computational Physics?
You can apply for various government positions—not just teaching. Pay scales often start at BPS 17 and offer career growth. Roles in education, research, and administration are open, with attractive starting salaries.
Are government teaching jobs announced every year?
Not on a fixed schedule. Some years see more regular postings, while other times jobs may appear once every two years or after a government change. Stay alert—new postings can surprise you.
Are jobs contract or permanent, and what’s the difference?
Almost all government teaching jobs begin with a contract appointment (usually 2 or 3 years). Permanent status is usually granted after successful completion and is based on government policies at the time. Always check the job ad for specific terms.
