Substitute teaching has been meager this year, at best. I haven't been able to get many jobs and certainly not the ones that I am most excited about.
I have had 5 job interviews recently. Two for new subbing opportunities in the largest school district in our area and one for the Head Start program. One was for a teaching job to cover the rest of the year and I already know I didn't get that one. The last two are for directors at child care centers. I have gone up for many of these types of jobs, but I keep getting the same line. "We really liked you, but we feel that you would quit on us the minute a better job came along." It's been almost three years, so.... It's not like I plan to stop pursuing teaching, but I have 15 years of experience in this area and I can do a fantastic job in a child care situation.
It's frustrating, one job says I have too much education and experience and the next job says I don't have enough experience. I'm caught in the middle and it's driving me a bit crazy! Oh, and broke too! Don't forget about that! I took out a loan to pay my bills. I haven't paid a penny on my student loans yet and things aren't looking too good.
Just in case you wanted a downer today. You're welcome!
