How can I prepare for a teaching job interview?

What strategies can help a first year social studies teacher?

Question:

Hello Guidance Counselor,


I graduated college with a bachelor's degree in K-8 teaching over a year ago. I could not find a job and have been substitute teaching this school year to make money. I just landed my first teaching job as a middle school social studies teacher.
