Pavement Pounding Finally Pays Off

hannikan

This week I have been going out to the schools I've applied to and following up in person since I haven't heard anything recently. In some cases, there's no one around (although the doors to the buildings are open). In other cases, they've just filled the position and haven't been notifying or taking the posting down. That's common but annoying. But since I haven't heard from any of the jobs I've applied to in the last few weeks, I am getting desperate. So I went to one school today that looked nice. They had filled the position I applied for but they had just posted another FT one that I am qualified for. It's not the ideal position for me (it's teaching the one class I am credentialed for but haven't taught before) but it's at a school that's nearby. So I talked to the woman who in the office who reviews the applications and at least she knows my name and that I took the initiative to come in and follow up. So wish me GL that I get contacted for an interview. They've already started school but they still are hiring as they are finding out how many students they have... you'd hired me right? (I wore a black jacket over the top)

Ohh good luck Hannah! I would hire you, no doubt.

sorry you're still pounding the pavement, hope something pays off soon!

That's promising! Hopefully you'll stick in their head now that you've been in the office.

Love the outfit.

I'm really impressed with you going out there and doing everything you can to land a position.  Keep it up, Hannah; some school is going to be very lucky to snag you!

Thanks everyone! Yeah, it's frustrating because there aren't many schools within reasonable commuting distance that are hiring. There are lots of schools posting needing social studies teachers but they are in Orange County or very far south in L.A. We're in the northern part of L.A. so it would take like 1.5-2 hrs and that's just too far.

Me too! That takes a lot of courage and confidence. Good luck with this position!

Ha, I don't know that it's confidence as much as desperation. Right now all we have coming in is DH's disability money. We can't live on that. So I have to find something. I'll let you all know if I hear something. I should hear something quickly because they have already started school a week ago (really early!) so they want to fill this position fast.

Good luck, H ! I hope the search will soon be over with a very good offer!

Of course I would!  You look great!

Good luck.... I really really really want you to get this one!!
