May 25 -- I had another interview for a teaching position today; this time it was for a 7th grade Language Arts position at a local middle school. In an awesome district. Seriously. their test scores rock in comparison to our town's.
ANyway, I had the weirdest feeling when I went for the interview. It wasn't so much that I didn't care. I did. It's just that I have this vibe now, after, let's see...six interviews in as many towns, that even when I think I did great, it's not great enough to get called back. The last interview I had, I swear I did awesome. When the principal walked me to the door and told me they would be calling back the top two candidates I was like, "hey, don't even bother with the rest of the interviews. I know you all loved me, just tell me now." But nooooooo, I wasn't even a finalist. The good news, I guess, is that at least I am getting called in for interviews.
So today, I thought I did okay. That's about it. I had some good answers, and some ah, average ones. Or so I think. Actually, I don't think I did that well. It's weird. You just never know the questions -- everyone asks such different ones. And I wasn't great at the specifics. I am too generalist and I can't spit off all the "lingo" answers. Screw the lingo.
We'll see what happens. This town is moving slower so I won't hear for a while. And then, of course, I had an awesome day at work. I really do have fun with this part time job -- mostly because we all seem to get along in the office. But it's part time and hourly pay. I get that. But I could always work for Brian and bring in more money for his business. ughhhhhh. I don't know what to do!!!!
As I say to the kids...one day at a time.
