Interview

by Wondering

Apr 11, 2013

I had a meeting at a school before openings were posted and everything went great. Jobs were posted and was contacted with a choice of times to interview. I chose one of the times and then told to wait until after break. When I heard from her again it was less than 24 hours notice and during the middle of the day. I told her I would be unable to come because of school and I did not feel it was ethical to ask for time off to interview in another system. In the mean time, we were told by a board member, that pressure was being put on Superintendent by prominent families. I feel that I was offered an interview at a time that I could not attend to satisfy, "we offered her an interview and she did not come." I just want the opportunity to interview and feel my experience, degree, and references will speak for themselves. What do I do?

teachermom Are you kidding? What world do you live in? Are you looking to get a new, satisfying teaching position or trying to place blame?

Lets see. You need a job. The administrator(s) speak w you BEFORE job was posted, you knew you were going for the interview and were aghast when given 24 hours notice. Did you needed a week? A month? Lets live in real world.

There is recession going on and a teacher glut. Unless you are AP Calculus, AP Physics or highly selective field, there are atleast 10 teachers for each job posted. The administrator need to interview with panel during school time as she does not have monies to pay for after hour. Oh! I think she also may have family who need her?

You need job? Go to interview at momnent's notice. You were professionally dressed, prepared and had credentials ready, or not?

Keep an open attitude. And go teach.
