034: Teacher interviews vs. Corporate interviews: how educators unknowingly self-sabotage in EdTech interviews—and how to fix it

If you’ve ever walked into an EdTech interview thinking your teaching experience alone would carry you—this episode is your wake-up call. Educators often show up to corporate interviews underprepared, over-rehearsed, and unaware of what hiring managers actually want. In this episode, I’m breaking down the top mistakes I see educators make in EdTech interviews—and exactly how to fix them.

Whether you're still waiting for interviews or you've already landed one and feel anxious, this episode will give you the mindset shifts, prep strategies, and practical tools you need to stop guessing and start landing offers.

TAKEAWAYS:

• Why teacher interviews and corporate interviews are nothing alike
• What makes a successful interview in EdTech (hint: it's not classroom management)
• The 3 biggest preparation mistakes educators make—and how to avoid them
• Why “winging it” or over-rehearsing can both cost you the job
• How to start preparing like a six-figure educator with confidence
• The single shift that separates those who hope to get hired from those who do
