I had a job interview today for a teaching position in a public school. I thought I did terrible (of course) and beat myself up all day. Well when I got home I got a call from the interviewer - they want me to come in for a second interview/demo lesson!!! I am SO excited. Not only that, but they're actually looking for a position to put me in. She said they only have one English position available and they have two good internal candidates. So my heart dropped a little bit. And then she said BUT they really like me and my philosophy and they have openings in the special Ed department that they think I could fit into. They think I have something unique to offer the district (which I do dammit). I'm so excited. I mean it's only a second interview, I'd have to get through the demo lesson and then if I make it meet the superintendent and impress him/her, but it's a start.
I'm trying not to let my anxiety get to me. I've been stable for three months now. That's a miracle. But I know bipolar can jump up to get me at any time. I worry that I won't be able to handle a new job and also going to school (which I would have to do to keep my special Ed certification). But then I think I'll never know if I don't try. I don't want to get my hopes up about this job. But I'm just happy I made it to the second round. Only six more weeks left in the job I hate, and then new job or no new job I am OUT. **** this place. No more kids cursing me out, no more destroying my classroom, no more kids disrespecting me all ****ing day. I know in a new school all these things could happen, but if it's a public school it will happen a whole lot less. Even in special Ed. I just wanted to share my excitement with my friends on here! You've all always been so supportive of me, it's nice to be able to report good news!

yay
 It's interesting that they have 2 internal candidates, but they're asking you to come in for a second interview. I suspect they think you're a better fit than those 2 candidates, as usually an employer will prefer an internal candidate over an external one. (It's easier and cheaper to train someone who's been working there for a while. Plus, the employer already knows the an internal person's work ethic.) So, if they didn't think you were that good, they would have gotten rid of you by now. That's my opinion anyway. It sounds like you're in really good standing! Whether or not you get the job, it's impressive that you got to the 2nd round. That's an accomplishment on its own. |
