Continuing the Job Hunt

It's been a stressful couple of months trying to find a job, a job the fits and makes me happy without being picky during these times. I've found the Snohomish SD online job opportunities site to be most promising. I check it everyday and I see at least one new opening a week. In fact, I've even began applying for classified (paraeducators, etc.) jobs as well.

Last Wednesday I was called for a preschool para job in the district and I was extremely pleased with how the interview went. I was able to meet both teachers and the principal and I left feeling great! Is this a step in the wrong direction? Hard to say. I like routines, and this job would provide me a daily and automatic schedule. While there is little to no curriculum in this opportunity, I am extremely excited to see where these kiddos come from developmentally and I would enjoy seeing how far them come over the year. How fun would it be to help them get ready for Kindergarten!

I am waiting to hear back about the job and it's a hard decision to make. Do I take the job if offered? What if I get another certificated opportunity? As you can imagine my mind is going a little crazy.

Just recently I've seen a few more postings, one for a first grade job in Lake Stevens, and a 2nd grade and 4th grade in Snohomish. I would be so greatful for any one of these. I'm hoping to get a call. I just keep telling myself, "What's meant to be will be."

I am so proud to keep reading about all the cohort friends of mine who are landing their dream jobs in local districts. I know they are doing fabulous!
