I have found that having a portfolio really impressed people on an interview. Include copies of certificates and transcripts, letters of recommendation, and documentation of your best lessons. If you have photos, include those, just put stickers over kids faces. This also helps initiate conversation about your experience. It shows them what you were able to learn in the field.
This takes a little time to set up, but as you teach, you can add your best lessons so that it is up to date of you see a new position you want or your position ever gets downsized.
Good luck!

Savita,
Many times I interviewed for a teacher position. I found that I have to go in with "confidence."
Have an "I can do this" attitude. Stand tall and believe in all the things you know about preschool.
Confidence, use as a mantra during the interview, say I can do that.
You got this.
Thank you,
