As most of you know I've been in a year long teacher certification program. This past Saturday was my last day. I'm finally finished. All those extra classes I had to take at ACC and then this year long program. I've been in school for almost three years trying to get to this point and I FINALLY made it. Now all I need is a stinking job.
I've sent resume packets to 73 schools. I've called and emailed every elementary principal in Round Rock, Pflugerville and Georgetown. Some were kind enough to respond, but others not so much. I check daily on the district websites to see what positions are still open or what new ones have popped up. I immediately apply and call when something new pops up. However, I'm to the point now of just being pissed at some of the principals. I've always been told "the squeaky wheel gets the oil." I'm finding in this situation that is not the case. Throw me a bone, people! I've GOT to get a job before January or else I have to travel with my current job and I just really don't know how I'm going to be able to leave Jake for 4 days. Yikes. Although, this morning, after getting him ready for day care, his butt exploded...all over me, all over him and all over the chair. Maybe I could do without that for a few days! Ha!

My wife once got a teaching job after the school year started. Schools have to know their positions are filled before school starts. Now that school has started, you're in a tough position. Bigger districts, poorer districts, these will be your best bet. You will also discover why they have fewer applicants to fill those voids and why they would have poitions go empty following the start of the year.
It can happen.
That is awesome! Congrats. Hopefully you will get a job soon.
GO YOU!!! YAY!!!
An Aggie teaching our children? I dunno...

Seriously congrats, you've worked hard.
