SouthernGirl28 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) On July 1st, both school systems got new directors. Well both days the county school director has worked I've been at central office. Friday was to fill out a new application and today I went to see if I could talk with him. His secretary asked if he could see me and he said it didn't have time today(naturally as its only day two of the new job for him). She said he asked her to get my number and he would call and set something up when he had more time!! She also said he would be looking at applications and calling about interviews!!! All of this put a little pep in my step as the old director never ever did that for me! Here's for hoping the phone rings soon Maybe just maybe this is the school year that brings a new chapter to my life I'll keep you all posted April Edited July 19, 2011 by SouthernGirl28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernGirl28 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Update: 7/12/11 One Step Forward One Step Back So I went to see the director who said he would call me today. Here's the one step forward: He said that if any principal recommended me for a job he would have no problem with hiring me!! Unfortunately, there are no available positions!! How can the one thing I've waited almost four years to hear finally be said only to be followed by there's no positions!! He didn't say it but there were positions before he went in to office so the old director filled them! He told me to talk to principals and I will but I think I've reached the end of the road in education....funny how I never got started I think I want a re-do on this day!

SouthernGirl28 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Update: 7/18/11 I have a new job lead!! I have a director of schools somewhere out of my hometown that said he would do what he could to help me. I also went to see a principal here and she was so down to earth I just started selling myself like you wouldn't believe(it was so easy...most of the people I've sat down with before I never knew if I was telling them what they wanted to hear or not). The principal said "you sound good". She doesn't have any positions but a girl can be hopeful Here's to hope April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixgirl Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I really really hope you find something soon, Ape. I can't find crap. I've sent my package to schools here and in Los Angeles. Nothing. I think what I'll do this year is try to get my TESOL certificate and just get the hell out of the US and teach in another country where teachers are more appreciated. But again, that costs money. SIGH We'll see. Good luck to us both! Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
