Without prompting (she didn't know they even knew who she was much less that we worked together), one of the ladies I interviewed with approached her and asked her if I found a job for next year yet (in case you're wondering, I haven't). She then proceeded to tell her how much they all, including the principal, loved me at my interview. She said that I was everyone's first choice, and they were really disappointed that they couldn't hire me based on financial limitations.
I'm extremely flattered to know that they thought so highly of me. I knew the interview went well, but I had no clue how I did compared to other candidates. Also, the topic of my last school (and principal) came up, and I questioned some of my answers regarding that experience. I guess it's good to know that I said all the right things.
The downside to this is that I have official confirmation (it was merely speculation before) that my degree is holding me back. And there's not a darn thing I can do about it. Without my masters, I wouldn't have my teaching certificate, so I can't exactly omit that information on my applications.
My fingers are still crossed that there's a district out there that will want me... and my degree!!
Ugh! That is so flippin frustrating. I hate the idea that someone desides to further pursue their education and then struggles with finding a job. It just doesn't make any sense.
