Job #1

Well, I didn't get the first job. The assistant superintendent called me this morning to let me know. She said I interviewed really well and that the team was impressed, but that the applicant pool was very strong and they decided to go with a different candidate. I still feel like poo, but her kind words did make me feel a bit better. I'm sure she said that to everyone, but I do feel like the interviews went well, so there really must have been someone a little better than me. Oh well.

Although I didn't get the full time position, she did ask me to do per diem work starting next week. This is actually a pretty sweet deal, because most of the positions in other districts in the area do not start until after Labor Day, so I can work as a substitute psych*ologist all summer and can continue to look for a full time position for the fall. Also, since it is a sub position, I can decline work if I want, which means we can officially plan a post-bar trip for August. We were hoping we would be able to spend a week or two in Pinehurst, and it looks like that will happen after all. When one door closes another one opens, right? I'm just trying to take it all in stride and be happy that I will soon be home with my husband and puppy!

  2. Wow - the per diem position sounds perfect for the summer while you keep looking! The 1st job wasn't meant to be for you b/c you're too awesome to not be offered it. Sounds like something better is in your future! :)

  10. I am sorry to hear that, I know it must be frustrating. I totally thought I was going to be offered a job I interview recently, and then the principal rejected me and 2 other candidates in a mass email! Awesome news about the sub gig, and I hope things work out asap!
