I heard that teachers were needed in Florida, so a few months ago I decided to make a career change and got temporary licenses in three hs subjects. I have been to two countywide job fairs and both had a thousand applicants, some drove from out of state. I have sent resumes and applied to openings all over the state, but have only gotten calls for three jobs, for which I was not invited in person to interview, one had phone interviews all day, so I expected there was a lot of applicants. I am surprised to see in late July there are still posted openings. What is up with that, wouldnt everyone have signed a contract, or did someone back out? I am getting discouraged, but will hang in if there is still a chance.
