    No, no! Don't give up. I was called the first day of professional
    development when I got my job. That was 10 years ago. Every year our
    principal is thinking he is going to have to hire another teacher. Like
    these others have said, go visit the schools where you've applied. Make
    sure the principal sees your face. Call them a couple of time. Keep
    yourself visible.
