No question, just want to vent...

After reading comments on the site and staying up to date on the questions and advice given, I believe I actually missed a call (although I read on here to answer ALL calls) for a possible interview. I was looking at the phone and saw the "unavailable" number come through. The call came two weeks ago. When I remembered that state numbers show the state, I googled the number and references to Japan came up. I could have kicked myself. I was hoping to then receive an email, but nothing (checked Spam thoroughly).

This is my first year applying. I have ten years teaching 6-12 math. I am looking forward to getting another call soon. I am taking the approach that dodea needs math teachers just like the rest of the world.

haha Ouch. It is a little odd though (but not unheard of) that you would not also get an email before or even after the call from a principal asking you if you want to interview and setting up a day/time (and/or a referral notice first).

So, maybe it wasn't an actual interview call from Japan (especially if that makes you feel better). :D

Frank As of Tuesday I heard that administrators still weren't allowed to start hiring yet because all the excess letters hadn't been sent out. If it was two weeks ago, that's before any excess letters went out. SoI kind of doubt it was a call for an interview, but anything is possible.

CaliBred In my mind, I want to hope that it was not a missed opportunity, but I know no one in Japan and I also read on this board, I think last week, that an admin was extending a stateside offer. I needed an outlet because I made the decision that I would not mention another thing to family and friends until it was a done deal. Thanks so much.

HelpOthers Hopefully the opportunity is still out there for you and others will have learned from this. I learned years ago not to include my HOME telephone number on the application, because one Friday, I listed to my answering machine and was asked to call for an interview. It was after the school-day, so no one answered when I called. I called several time...See More

CaliBred Wow! Message on Friday, too late on the following Monday. That hurts!! Lesson learned!! Next time I will stop mid-sentence in class if I have to. I will become the teacher that other students have told me about, who answers their phone during class, or is seen outside their door on a call. :) Thanks for your advice.
