        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!

                      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.

                            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.

                                                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

                                                      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!

                                                                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!!!

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 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.

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.

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!
