Summer job fell through

My summer teaching job at the community college fell through because I only had 4 students enrolled. It was supposed to start this coming Monday and I just found out today. We were counting on this income so now I am super worried and stressed. I am hoping I can get some tutoring jobs but I doubt I will. My mom said if she has to she will lend us money from her savings, but I already owe her for other things, and I feel bad, but at least that is an option. DH has 3 interviews today and 1 next week so hopefully he will be hired for a teaching position and we will have decent money coming in after September 30th. It is just Aug and September's rent/bills I am worried about. I hate living like this. Ugh.

Re: Summer job fell through

  • I'm so sorry to hear this Tara and that you have to go through this. I really hope your H gets hired at one of these interviews he is going on. Do you have any prospects for teaching jobs? Are you guys looking for work outside of teaching in case you can't find anything? Something has to happen for you guys soon. It is nice of your mom to offer to help.

    I actually just got a call this morning for an interview at a school about 35 minutes away! It is for middle school language arts. It would be amazing if I got it. The interview is next Thursday.

    No we are not looking outside of the education field. I have invested too much time and money into getting my master's in education and DH would stay in his aide job if he didn't get offered a teaching position. I have a feeling he will be offered something soon.

  • Good luck today, Tara. I hope your interview goes well. That really sucks about your summer job. What about getting a job outside of education during the summer? I know my high school math teacher was a life guard during the summers. Just a thought.

  • Thanks Michelle. With the cost of childcare it makes sense for me to stay home with Liliana. The college course was only 3 mornings a week so it would have been perfect.

    ETS never contacted me after I applied.

    The interview went real well but the position that I was interviewing for was language arts but 10 minutes into it the principal asked me if I would consider teaching teachnology. I said yes so now I have a second interview tomorrow with the superintendent for that position.

  • Tara, that does make sense.  Childcare is very expensive.  I actually got an email from ETS a few days ago.  My job was contracted through August but they cancelled the remaining shifts.  They said that it's mostly just clean up work for the higher ups at this point and if they end up needing help they would contact us.  So my shift for today was cancelled.  Then this afternoon I got an email that they had a few more tests load into the system so I have one more shift on Wednesday but that's it.  I'm a bit bummed we are done 6 weeks early.  They did say they would contact us "regarding the next scoring season".  So I'm not sure when that is, but I will let you know about it when they do contact me.  In case you are still looking.

  • That's a bummer! Sorry to hear that you lost 6 weeks of work. Yes, please keep me posted. Thanks.

    My interview for the technology position went well. I will find out on Thursday if I got it. I am 50/50 on it. I really want a language arts job, not technology, but this is full time and I would be making double the salary so I would have to take it.

  • Tara I'm happy to hear you have a potential job lined up. That is great! Even if it isn't exactly what you want to be teaching at least you will be in the school and maybe be able to switch subjects next year.

  • Thanks. It is a very small school district. There are only 2 schools with one teacher per subject per grade so the chances of a language arts position opening up is slim. However, I guess it is always a possibility.

  • Yes, true, but it also gets you another teaching experience on your resume, which gives you more potential for jobs too.
