Really frustrated!

[JJ]

Thanks for letting me come here and vent. I know if I hold all this in, my CC will get worse and I will have to go back on 3 Entocort/day. I am so frustrated that I still don't have work for next year. My head hunter is baffled too and thought for sure that I would have more calls. It is bizarre! I applied for a job in Seattle and found out today that I am not a finalist....sigh. There is another opening at a school in Bellevue..(outside Seattle) but that is for a part time elementary job. I worked with elementary kids for many years, but I think they see that I have been teaching High School and don't give me a chance...or else I have been teaching too long and no one wants to pay me. Sigh

I have made up my mind to contact an employment agency....they work with people who are transitioning to other careers...An HR friend recommended them ...the school will pay for it so I better give it a try....thanks for letting me vent...some one has to want me! TTFN...JJ

With your experience I'm sure something will come your way.
It will be when you least expect it!!

Hi JJ,
After teaching HS, I switched to doing elementary library, and it was a blast. Now I'm working in a bead store and love it. You may find jobs related to art that you like as well or more. For instance, I was approached by the psychologist at the elementary school to apply as secretary for his office at a new school opening up nearby. At the time, I the hours didn't work for me, so I turned it down - but I think that might have been a really interesting job, good pay and benefits, (surprizingly close to full time teaching), and no take home grading, parent-teacher conferences, etc.
I'm thinking about you . .
Love, Marsha

JJ,
Having just gone through what you are going through now, I can totally relate. It took about 5 months before I got offered something. I rode that same emotional rollercoaster and thought it would never end. Now that I have a job, of course another one has come along. And I'm in the running for a third one! I've just quit my job of one month and accepted the 2nd job which is more in my field. Hang in there. Things WILL turn around.

Hang in there Jill! I know something will come to you when you least expect it. Until then, we're here for you!
