Well, good news! (potentially) There are TWO ART POSITIONS open in the district near my house. One elementary K-5 and one middle school 6-8. I applied for both. It would cut my commute down from one hour one way to 5 min, plus I’d be teaching ART!!!
It would also require me to leave my current district, which I’ve been at for 10 years. I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to apply. These positions never open up. I met with my current principal before spring break on Friday and let her know I was applying, showed her my resume and cover letter, we both cried at the thought of me leaving, and then she did the most amazing thing ever! She called both principals at the schools right then and there to encourage them to take a look at me. I am so fortunate, and have been for the last 10 years, to work for and with some of the most amazing people. It would be so hard to leave. I am trying to keep faith in the fact that perhaps this could be meant to be (while a the same time trying not to get my hopes up…yeah right) and the adjustment could be worth it.
Any vibes or appendages you could cross would be appreciated! They are supposed to start looking at applicants next week so I’ll keep you all posted!
Oh, wow, this sounds wonderful!
It’s great to see you so excited, and how awesome to have the support of your friends from work.
Good luck!
All good vibes heading your way! I taught 9-12 Social Studies for 5 years before transitioning back to higher ed. It’s so important to be able to work close to home though. I know I’ve been counting my lucky stars lately that I work primarily from home!
What awesome news! Fingers and toes are all crossed!!
I am excited for you! I wish you the best of luck!
Thanks All! I really hope this works out!
Good luck! That sounds like an awesome opportunity, and the cut in commute time is great!
I have everything crossed for you Kate – even my eye’s (so I’ll expect a headache soon)!
Isn’t it lovely when you finally find out that someone adores you SO much they are prepared to let you go (I have goosebumps for you) for your happiness. How wonderful you must be (though I already knew that). I can’t wait to hear the outcome….. cheers Kate.
New job (((((VIBES)))))) just for you.
Haha Andi! You are too funny! Thanks so much!!!! I really hope one of these works out. Overall, I feel hopeful.
Ooh good luck!!!
I hope this works out!
Good luck! I’m sure you’ll be a strong contender for the position. I doubt many others have the enthusiastic support of their school’s principal.
Wow, sounds like a great opportunity for you! Good luck!
I got an interview for the Middle School position next week on the 9th!! AAHHH! Now I am in prep mode…learning absolutely everything I can about the school before I go in! All your vibes and crossed body parts worked! Keep em coming! hee hee!
Bunny paws crossed!
That’s wonderful! Good luck at the interview!
Eyes still crossed Kate! (boy, do I have a headache!!!!!) ha ha ha…..
You’ll be fine – I just know it! Cheers.
O_o
That seems like a good opportunity! Keep the optimism up! Positive vibes go a long way. Good luck!!!
Thanks all!! I will keep you posted! I am too thrilled! Andi, ouch! Your head must be killing you by now! Well it worked so keep it up! I’ll send you some headache meds in the mail! LOL
I got a second interview scheduled for Monday! Half way through the first interview she told me she wanted me back. Plus she loved my portfolio! yay!! Now I just need to get through this second and final interview. AndHenry, your crossed eyes worked magic!
Thanks all for the well wishes…keep em coming! It’s working!!
I was hoping for good news when I saw this thread bumped back up to the top! She said she wants you back? If that isn’t a good sign, I don’t know what is! =D
*Amanda joins Andi in eye-crossing*
Yes! LB, I think it is a good sign! I have a good feeling about it. Hopefully it is meant to be. Thanks Amanda! I can use all the crossed eyes possible LOL!!! Monday can’t come soon enough!
Good on you Amanda! Good thing we can’t/don’t webcam on BB – no one would know who I was looking at?????
Congrats Kate! I knew you had it in the bag – but I won’t jump the gun just yet and break open the bubbly, I’ll save it till after your final interview and you have been officially told you HAVE the job! (so make sure you post before you tell anyone else – including the hubby and Al). I’m so excited and happy for you! Cheers Kate.
PS – Monday your time? bugga – I have to add 12 hours (I think) to that…… (so lets make it Tuesday for me) LOL!
Glad to hear an update. I am crossing fingers and toes and anything else to wish you the best of luck!
Thanks!!!
Andi, I’ll update you as soon as I know so you won’t have to wait in suspense! LOL! Of course my fellow BBrs will be the first to know! I don’t want to jump the gun either but I am so excited!!
Thats wonderful news. 2nd interview. Great. Let us know please.
We are all crossed here too. Cotton too. Vibes too. I am happy for you.
It’s Tuesday morning here Kate – I hope I’m not too late? I just wanted to wish you good luck today!!!!! Cheers, Andi.
Oh you are awesome Andi!! I think it went well…I met with the vice principal from before and the other vice principal (they have two in their building) The other one was a litter harder to read. He is a man and had a dry sense of humor as far as I could tell…definitely not as warm and bubbly as the first one. Now I just have to wait and see. Hopefully I’ll hear back by tomorrow. I just can’t take the waiting! It makes me second guess everything I said. urg. Thank goodness I go back to my classroom tomorrow and can use my students as a distraction! Haha! Keep those eyes, fingers and toes crossed please! I’ll let you know as soon as I hear!!!
Oh yes, your interview was today too! Are you not as confident now as you were after the last one? I’m sure you did fine. They are obviously highly interested, otherwise they wouldn’t have called you back for a 2nd interview. I hope you hear back quickly, the waiting is always the worst part.
I guess I’m not as confident because the other principal was so much harder to read. They are supposed to let me know by tomorrow. I think the waiting is what is making me second guess everything. You know, you go over and over everything that was said and done. I think it was easier to be confident before because I still knew there was this additional step. Now it is entirely out of my hands.
That makes sense. I’m still going over stuff in my head too. LOL Seriously, I envy you. At least you know you did well in the first interview and then you got to do a second interview. I got one and that was my only shot. =\ I’m sure this other principal is just hard to read and that it doesn’t necessarily mean he didn’t like you. There are just some people that have you dwelling on what you think they thought of you long after the fact.
Let us know what they say when you get the call! I really want you to get this job. I can tell that you feel it would be a much better place for you to be right now.
Oh thanks so much for the support LB! I am just so thankful for your insight and everyone’s support! You guys keep me sane!!! Why do they make interviewing so hard. LOL. Seriously though, I get it, but the not knowing is so hard! I almost wish it was one and done because I felt really good about the first one haha!
I got it!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!!! nothing is official until I sign paperwork and the school board approves me next month…but it is pretty much a done deal! Yay! Thank you all so much for your support and your crossed body parts!! I almost can’t believe it!!
Woo Hoo! Congratulations!
Yay! That’s wonderful Kbana! I knew you would get it! =D
Thanks you guys! I am over the moon!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! “POP”! I just opened the bubbly – cheers to you Kate! And the best part – I can uncross my eyes now, ha ha ha……
Seriously – good on you, and I’m so happy to share in your excitement, thank you! Enjoy your celebrations, they are well deserved. Cheers.
Yay !!!!!!
Thanks!!! Andi, I’ll happy guzzle that bubbly right up! And yes, you may uncross your eyes! LoL! Hope you aren’t stuck like that!
WOOO HOOO!
Great job, on getting your job!
Party time! ????
P.S. I am keeping my eyes crossed for LBJ10!
I just needed an eye break….. eyes crossed again for LBJ! (someone pass me the panadol for my returning headache!) ha ha ha…..
Oh I will cross my eyes and every possible appendage for LB! Andi, I’ll join you!
You guys are too funny!
I consider that a compliment.
congrats on the new job!
