Okay, so I wasn’t going to blog about this, but I guess I will. I got the dreaded, thanks but no thanks, phone call Friday. I asked if there was anything I could have done differently. She said, “We had 60 applicants apply for this job, we chose to only interview six. Out of those six, you were the only one without experience. We truly enjoyed your interview.”
So there was nothing I could have done differently? What about the Social Studies comment?
She laughed, “Absolutely not! You were by far the most entertaining interview we had. You were a breath of fresh air for us! You answered every question right. You were very confident. There is absolutely nothing I would ask you to change. It all came down to experience. The other five candidates had five to ten years experience.”
“Okay, well I appreciate you taking the time to interview me.”
“Thank YOU and the best of luck to you.”
So that was that. So just a question for all you smart people out there. How the hell am I supposed to get experience if no one will take a chance and hire me? The last interview I went on gave me the exact same reason. It was down to me and another woman, and he picked her because she had experience. I am not sure how I am going to get someone to take a chance on me. I can probable start by leaving out the fact I was a delinquent that was paddled in the fourth grade. Oh, and I can probably keep from bashing the coaches/Social Studies teachers. Well, what’s done is done. I check the teacher websites every other day, and no one has any openings. I’m not giving up hope yet. Although, the further along I get in this pregnancy the worse my chances are of someone hiring me. I will probably start the new school year subbing again. Maybe I will get lucky and get put into a long term subbing position that turns into something more permanent. Who knows.
But I’m not going to cry about it.
Okay, maybe a little.
