I let me teaching license lapse. I was getting burnt out at my job, they didn't need me to have a license and I was going through some personal things and well – STUPID I KNOW!!!
It was not an issue until last week. DH got a new job and when doing the paperwork with the Business Manager they started talking about me. DH said I had worked with preschool for years and then changed careers. She said they have a Director/Teacher opening in their preschool program I should look into if I am interested. This is definitely something I had been interested in and working towards in the past.
After a long weekend and the crap I came back to, I sent my application in that night. I knew it was a long shot. I have a short term sub license with the wrong ages. It felt good to just apply thinking I do have other options if I ever really need a change.
So yesterday DH gets a tour of the schools and runs into the Superintendent. Super asks DH his last name, and then asks if his wife applied for a job. DH says “Yes she did.” Super says he liked my application, but I need a license and then said, “Have her give me a call.” So I called.
He again said he liked my application, but needs the license. I said I will check. After checking I realize I have enough hours, just need to get them approved. I called him again today and he said they are interviewing Monday, I say, “I am leaving for Montana at 8:00 am on Monday.” After some discussion he said bring your license renewal over. They have few applicants and if none of them are what they want they will still consider me if my hours can get approved, and he will talk to his person at the school to see about pushing it through over the summer.
The more I think about this job, the more I want it and the madder I get at myself. It would definitely be a pay increase and more consistent hours, no weekends and maybe even no summers.
I can really only blame myself.
UPDATE: So I got all my info to the Superintendent before I left. They interviewed people on Monday. I did not receive a call Monday or Tuesday so I am thinkning they found someone, oh well. DH calls me this morning and said he ran into the Superintendent and they want me at the school on Monday. I said I WORK MONDAY. He said, find a way to get to school.
So, after being gone from my job for a week I will miss the first 2 days I am due back because of this and jury duty. Obviously I will not tell them why I am missing Monday.
I am trying not to get too excited, but I feel this is a very good sign. It has been a rough couple weeks at work and I am already dreading going back next week because of things that are happening while I am gone.
I could really use some prayers and positive thoughts right now for patience and peace with no matter what happens. I have not wanted something this much for quite a while, but I need to be realistic, there is not guarantee of anything right now.
Thank you for the support and encouragement before, it really did help me.
Interview Update: So I interviewed on Monday and I thought it went really well. I turned in the rest of the clock hours I needed, so I should be able to get my full license back, no problems.
I got a call today from the Superintendent and he explained why there was a delay in calling back, at this point I am waiting for the "We chose someone else", BUT he says they want to do a second interview with me, not next week but the week after. He is trying to coordinate multiple schedules and just does not feel he can get it ready for next week. So that is where I am at right now.
Any advice on how to prepare for a second interview would be greatly appreciated. I have never done one before so I don't know if it will be much different or basically the same but with different people.
Thanks everyone for all you support.
