    The document discusses how positioning theory can be used to understand the interactions between administrators, teachers, and candidates in an international school hiring interview process. It explores how the administrator positions themselves as having the duty to find the best candidate and right to hire someone qualified, while teachers position themselves as having the duty to support themselves and right to a job matching their qualifications. Positioning theory provides a lens for understanding the nature of interactions and positions between different roles in a social situation like a job interview.
