The frequency with which I post to this blog is reprehensible. I was all gung-ho about it last summer. My garden was growing like mad, I was suffering from inner turmoil regarding my future career situation,etc. Then the school year begins again and the blog falls to the wayside.
So, here we are again on a summer vacation. This time, I've lost out on not only one but TWO jobs that would be great. One in particular was at a private school where I would be teaching only photography. I interviewed twice. The second time was with the President and various other admin. I waited and waited and when the dept head finally called, they'd chosen someone else.
That disappointment was quite difficult to take. I was so sure I'd had it. What is wrong with me? Why can't I find another teaching job?? I've NEVER had any issue interviewing and then subsequently landing a job. I've always made good impressions and wowed the interviewer. Until now, I've never interviewed and not gotten the job.
Is it the economy?
Is it the education field?
Is it me?
I just don't know. Sigh....
The worst part is that tons of teachers from my school have been able to transfer or have just quit. Which just makes me feel worse.
I've interviewed with a neighboring county. Unfortunately, she hasn't called me back. Pet Peeve. I'm totally waiting on the woman to contact me with an answer. Yes or No. How hard is it?
I promise, if I am ever in a position of power, I will NEVER make someone wait for an answer.
It's just mean.
So, I am in limbo.
