1st (teaching) job interview in 10yrs (and I'm scared to death!)
Comments (16)Well, they just called today and I didn't get the job. Boo hoo but just teeny tiny boo hoo because I wasn't really sure I wanted to go back to work. This job this time next year would have been ideal. I had a really good talk with the principal when she called to tell me and the other woman with all the experience got the job. She was really encouraging about applying for future positions which is very reassuring. In the meantime, I can actually have time all to myself for the first time in 8yrs! I just realized when I was contemplating the unruliness of my hair that I can actually make a hair appt without calling 3 different people trying to arrange someone to watch one or both of the kids. OMG, I can sign up for a yoga class! And DH is satisfied because I did actually try to get work. I've got calls out to a couple of teacher friends to see what they recommend for getting some more experience teaching reading (the principal said this would be a good thing to work on). So all in all, I think this will work out for the best. I can still substitute and tutor for extra cash - we won't be getting that new car but that can definately wait. Thanks again everyone for keeping me company during this experience. I really appreciated your good wishes and support....See MoreHow to answer job interview question
Comments (7)Thanks. The commute is certainly valid. I currently drive 90 min. & 92 miles round-trip. This would be 20-25 min. & 20 miles round-trip. I do have a company vehicle so I'm not paying for the gas, but that doesn't get me back the time I spend driving. I've done this enough to know not to criticize my present or past company or managers. I have been applying to other firms for accounting & management positions, but right now the only industry that's hiring much seems to be healthcare - and not much of that! I also planned to mention growth. This is a newly opened facility for a growing company. My company, on the other hand, has been contracting & closing offices. I wanted to see what you all thought. I read once not to use the commute issue because it sounds like you're whining. I don't look at it that way. Cutting down unnecessary time spent on a commute so you can use your time better seems perfectly valid to me. In my case, I would be saving app. 5 hrs/week....See MoreSecond Job Interview
