Discouragement

Hi all, just thought I would update you all. I have not found a teaching job yet. :( I am starting to get pretty discouraged that I won't find a job for this upcoming school year. The district that I want to work in hasn't even posted jobs yet! Many people have told me that they do not start posting jobs until end of July and beginning of August, so I guess there is still a chance of getting hired. I did email my resume to the principals of schools I substituted at the most. I have a feeling that if I do get hired it will be the week before school starts. That is such a scary thought! Of course, I'd be happy to have a job but that would leave very little time for me to prepare for my classroom. Since I'm a new teacher, I'm starting out with nothing so I'd love to have time to make and plan things for my classroom. I hope all of you are doing well! Hopefully my next post will be announcing my new teaching job! =D

  2. Hi Natalie! I found your blog though some other blogs I follow! It is so cute! I've been thinking about starting my own blog for a while but I kept putting it off since I don't have a job yet. After reading your blog, you inspired me to go ahead and start one. I'm going through the same thing you are trying to find a job. It's been SO hard! I graduated in December and subbed till the end of the school year and been trying to find a job ever since. I'm your newest follower and I look forward to hearing all about your experiences as a first year teacher. Just like me! Come check out my brand new blog (excuse the mess because I don't really know what I'm doing)! Itsacorething.blogspot.com (I still don't know how to create a link HA)
