Job Hunt

I (Katie) am currently in the process of job hunting for the 2010-2011 school year, and boy has it been discouraging!

To date, I have applied for 80 [no typo, EIGHTY] positions, and have sent my resume to two principals with whom I have some sort of connection.

But...a glimmer of hope! On Monday [which, by the way, was our one month anniversary], I got a phone call from a principal in a Cabarrus County school [yay!!] wanting to schedule an interview for Wednesday [TODAY! AH!].

I reeeeeeeeally want this job. It's the same grade level that I taught last year, it's closer to home [I was driving between 45 minutes & an hour and 10 minutes each way last year], and it's a principal that I've heard really great things about.

I had a suspicion that one of my former college classmates was also interviewing for this job, so I asked, and she is. I must admit, I'm a bit intimidated. :\

I'm hoping that God will work in the same way that he did last time...I applied for countless jobs, got ONE interview, and got the job!!

I am currently washing my interview clothes!

[Oh the washer? It's still broken. I am currently sitting in the kitchen, listening for the spin cycle. When I hear it, I run to the washer, listen for the pipe to sound like it's filling up, and when it sounds like it's about to overflow, I stop the washer, wait a few seconds for the water to drain out, and then I start it again. I typically have to do that about 7 times during each spin cycle. I put in a maintenance request on Friday, and have heard nothing. Last time, it took a MONTH for them to even get in touch with me about our requests. DON'T RENT FROM KLUTTS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT IN CHARLOTTE. THEY SUCK.]

So at 3:00, say a little prayer for me, that if this is where God wants me, this is where I'll be, and if not, that He'll open a door somewhere else [and soon]. Ben and I reeeeeally need me to get a job!
