What I've heard along the way in getting a teaching position

I was thinking about this as I was cleaning a table tonight---I was thinking of all the things I've heard when I haven't gotten a job in a school or been turned down---"Maybe somebody's niece interviewed. Maybe they hired a coach." School systems like to hire people who coach.

At one place I recently interviewed, I thought maybe they had someone in mind when they called me. I felt like the last on the list. They asked me if I could be there at 11 on a Friday. I was working a temp job and couldn't. I asked if there was a time on Monday. He said they wanted to get it wrapped up. I think they interviewed like 6 people (where's the shortage of special ed teachers? I think anywhere but where you live). They asked me then if I could be there at 7:30 am. I said sure. Somewhere along the way they told me they were interviewing 6 people and he didn't have a copy of my resume. I orginally met the Superintendent and gave him my resume but he (the principal) didn't have it. He said all the Superinendent gave him was my phone number.

It's awful. Absolutely awful trying to get a job in education, and I've just about decided, as I think I've said before, it's not going to work out for me. It's not going to happen and I have to think that God has a bigger, better plan. I'm claiming it. God has a bigger, better plan.
