Ask, and ye shall...
Well, after applying to 900,000* non-teaching jobs, I got a call-back! Interview on Thursday, hope it goes well. Way closer to home than I am now, and that means potential for working weekdays! I like to shop and dream about the wardrobe I might have one day when I'm a teacher and can afford and have a reason for wearing nicer, dressier clothes... Sigh, one day.

I'm an unemployed teacher too! I live in South Carolina, USA. School started back today and this will be my second year of being out of work :( I have also applied to lots and lots of schools and never got one phone call. When I would follow up, no one would return my calls, so I know what it is like. Good luck with your interview!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer! It really does suck. I have lots of friends that are going overseas to get experience so they can apply again here next year. It seems crazy to me that we should have to go overseas in order to find work, when we really could use quality teachers here. The grade 4 class I did my practicum in had 33 students, and a friend had 37 in grade 6. To me, that is just crazy. So far the best advice I've gotten is to get lots of experience and keep applying, so that's what I'm going to do.
