Maybe? Please? Today was my third job interview for my dream grade at a great school. My first interview I was beat out by someone with years of experience (that is a given) and for my second interview, the job was given to someone who had been in that school subbing/student teaching for two years (also a given). When I ask the principal's for feedback for future interviews, I honestly get nothing but positive feedback and how much they wish there was another spot for me. So... where will my spot be? It seems like everyplace already has someone in mind, someone with more experience, someone with more time put in... what about the newbies? What about this newbie?
Now, please do not get me wrong... I am so grateful for the opportunity to interview with these schools and staff members and feel very honored to have been selected as it really has been drilled into everyone's head it is pretty much impossible to get one interview if any right after you graduate. I have been very fortunate to have these experiences but at the same time... my heart gets so excited and I get so pumped that this one just might be it- the perfect little fit for me and my passion. It really does suck to get the call with the news you do not want- BUT for the last two I was consoled with multiple compliments and promises that there is no doubt I will get hired- just not over people with kick ass connections. Principal's do not have to call and reject, the HR does that.. soo.. I guess I am also lucky to have received personal calls with encouragement.
Ugh...
I am just hoping, really, truly hoping that this third time is THE time. But, then again, one of the interviewees was a student teacher there and subs there all the time. Lucky. me.
Well, I do wholet heartedly believe that the right position at the right school will become all mine, but I wish it would just happen without all the lame spirit-breaking in between.
