Questions, questions - for jobs that is

[tel]

I'm looking at applying for an IT job at a school. This is the first question on their "Individual Evaluation" form.
I'd mark them all as 1 and presumably fail (these kind of questions/forms really annoy me)

Any comments?

Using a score of 1 to 6, please mark the personal skills below with 1 being your strongest skill, and then marking down to 6 as the least strong.

      I can follow processes and guidelines

The first one is illiterate!

It's from a skool, innit!

If they cut out the word "verbally" it might make sense

If they cut out the word "verbally" it might make sense 

It is a special skill to produce a sentence with both a split infinitive and trailing adjective.

Isn't 'work load' one word as well?

Tel, you can do it my lad.

It's a trick tel. Mark it 3 out of 10 and send it back with "Could do better" written on it.

I do despair sometimes.

This is supposedly a top-notch school.

These are the other questions (I love the "feel free to assume" bit).
The last question made me laugh.

Please detail how you would deal with these scenarios (please feel free to assume whatever you need to answer these questions) :

It is 4.50pm and you are late leaving. A teacher phones the ICT Support department saying that he is low on ink in his printer and has some work to do tomorrow morning. When would you fulfil his request and why have you decided that?


You are the only person in the ICT Support office. A phone call comes in from a languages lesson saying that they need some help with a students computer in their classroom which is not responding. As you prepare to leave the office the Headmaster comes in asking for your help in his office with a printer problem. How would you prioritise the 2 requests and why?


A teacher asks you for some help producing something for a presentation with some photos she wants to give to 200 pupils at once. What application would you use to produce such a presentation, and how would you suggest she show it to 200 pupils at once?


You are assisting a teacher with a problem using a piece of software you have never used before. You really do not know anything about this piece of software. What possible steps could you take to help the teacher?

Define "Top-notch"

I have been battling with ever decreasing standards in schools for the last 36 years. I have yet to see a top-notch school ~ which is why my children two youngest are being educated at home.

 tunble:The Boy' s skool is good. But then it's a 400 year old grammar skool

[Snoopy]

I expect is is "good" ~ it is also selective. 


There are many who thought this was a "good" school too.

Private CofE, mainly boarding school, old style (I probably mean my style by that), pupils actually wear proper uniforms, houses, house masters etc.
Their academic results are good as well.
Bit like my old school (RC though) used to be.

This looks more like a top-notch school to me

But think of all the knob twiddling opportunities
