No New Job... Probably Next Year.

The people I interviewed with stressed that they were interviewing a "number of people" over two days. Apparently it really was a large number. They said they were amazed that I made their top 4 choices without any school counseling experience. But, in the end I did not get the position. But, when the school goes to 4 grades next year they hope to add another counseling position. I was strongly encouraged to keep my application active and reapply for the new position. Even though I did not get the job, I am pleased with the interview. When the AP called back later that afternoon, she had some constructive criticism to give me about interviews but assured me that was not the reason I did not get the job. She said I was definitely counselor material. What worked against me is that 2 of the 3 counselors next year would be new. They did not want one of those two newbies to be a total newbie to the profession. I would have made the same decision if I was in their shoes. Maybe next year.

Interview

I had an interview today with a newer high school within the same district as the one I graduated from. I should know this afternoon if I get the job.

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I have been frantically busy. I hope everyone is doing well.
