    I finally have my first and only interview tomorrow after
    graduating last December. I actually finished last November. I
    almost did not apply for this position because it is at an
    elementary school and I am kind of nervous about working alone as
    a first year counselor in an elementary school. I interned at my
    high school as a matter of fact and I have never worked at an
    elementary school. I have always wanted to try teaching elementary
    due to my certification is k-12. I teach Spec Ed. One of the
    counselors at my school is leaving next year and I thought that
    would be perfect for me, however, I have been told that the
    position will not be filled due to budget cuts. So, we will see
    how that goes.

    If you have any pointers that you can give me before tomorrow at
    3:00, please let me know.

    Thanks again for responding,
