Hello World!
Things have been busy here at the Roe House (well the basement where we are living in the Roe House)!!
Aaron continues to look for jobs and has had a few nibbles for summer opportunities that we hope turn into something long term.
I have applied for three teaching jobs and immediately heard back from two. I had one interview today and another on Wednesday.
The job interview today was wonderful. I believe I was articulate and presented myself very well. I was complimented on my vocabulary and again on how well I interviewed (complemented many times on this actually). Once the interview was over I was given a folder with a salary schedule (excellent sign), and a school tour (another good sign) and introduced to other teachers (another good sign). All in all the interview took an hour and a half! After the excitement and adrenaline rush of the interview I was exhausted after it was all said and done.
I was told by the principal that there are four other applicants other than myself. I was the first interviewed and the last will be on Friday. I'm so scared that I won't get it but probably more scared of what I'm going to do with my own classroom if I actually DO get the job!
The other good news is that I have another job interview - but the person on the phone sounded a little frantic (hopefully just end of the school year stress).
The interview today went so well that I'm not as scared about the second one.
Both opportunities are tremendous!
The next two weeks very well could drive me insane!
Things could stay the same as they are now, or I could end up working in two different areas of Missouri.
I wonder how well I'll sleep the next two weeks?
I wonder how crazy I'll drive Aaron in the process? :)
Wish me luck everyone! Wish Aaron luck too!
We need it. It's time to get our lives started!
To the Lady and Lord Roe:
ReplyDeleteI'm SO excited for you two and your awesome opportunities! That's really great! Hopefully, my Aaron and I can follow your lead! Getting our lives back on track definitely sounds like a good time to me! Good luck! I'm proud for you both! We love you!
Hey guys!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the interviews. I sent the letter of reference to the one....do I need to send a letter to another one?
I think an hour and a half interview is long; however, Jen has a 12 hour interview tomorrow at the university! How crazy is that?
Good luck!!!
Kara (and Jen)
No letter needed for the second one. I guess I could have been proactive and sent some but its so close to the end of the year I feel bad for asking.
ReplyDeleteThe principal at my second school didn't even write me back, which surprises me! Also your friend across the hall didn't respond :(
Thanks to everyone for being so supportive!
