It is pretty insane; trying to find a job right now. I have applied everywhere. Looking for teaching positions in different states, even in England. So far the closest I have to an actual teaching job is a long term substitute position. I have had one call from a school and now interview. How is it that there is such a huge need for teachers, but no teaching jobs? What is wrong with this picture? Oh yeah, the state owes schools billions of dollars and instead of finding ways to pay them they cut resources, cut teaching positions, and lower the schools budgets. Now that is the way to improve education in the US! I new it would be difficult to find a job, but this is ridiculous! It is so stressful not knowing if I’m going to find a job this year. I have know idea where I’m going or what I’m doing, I’m completely dependant on the hope that I will get called by some school in the next month to start teaching. Some districts, like CPS, hire up until mid September, a few weeks into the school year. That’s pretty crazy! Who knows, maybe I’ll be hearing from Las Vegas in the next couple of weeks, one can dream…
