I have had my cert. for five years. I ha e been subbing for four. I have had three long-term assignments. Good references. No job offers. Very few interviews. I am 46. I also decided to make teaching my second career. Districts have no problem having me sub, but won't give me a job. One administrator actually told me they need good subs. I did have a negative experience with one of my long-term jobs. I also wondered if they could drag up information about past employers and complaints against employers, etc. That information is supposed to be strictly confidential. Hmmm I wonder, is it age, is it discrimination over past employer issues, I do believe discrimination towards second career older teachers is an issue. Perhaps more of us should share our stories and do something about it.
