I'm going to a third interview for a teaching position. My friend, who is a teacher, thinks it may just be a formality and they're ready to hire me. I don't want to get my hopes up too high, just in case! What do you guys think? Does a third interview usually mean it's a done deal?

I'm a school band director.
Third interviews are usually not even called "interviews," .....as a matter of fact, I'm surprised to hear the term. Its ok to get your hopes up, but NEVER assume you have the job, that is, until you have a contract in your hand. Even if someone tells you they'll hire you, they can always go back on it WITHOUT TELLING YOU. It happened to me.
Hope this helps.

A third interview is a good infdicator that they are interested in you. However, you cannot assume anything...you don't have the job until it is offered and you accept.
Good luck...I hope you get the position.

In teaching, rarely do they even have 2nd interviews...usually they will know after the first. Strange, 3rd interview, but probably you will be offered the job, but be prepared for anything.

just remember someone else could also have a third interview. you are probably really close to having that job, though! good luck!

possibly there are others still in the running.
When I got hired on to teach they called me three times to see if I still wanted the job.
Best of luck to you !
