Last Friday was graduation. Yay! Graduated! M.A.T. for the win!
Wednesday went something like this:
10:30-10:50: Clearance interview with one of the local school districts
11:00: A principal calls from an Arts-Infused Elementary to set up an interview at 1:15.
11:03: Second principal calls while I’m on the phone with the first to set up an interview right then.
11:40: Get to the school of the second principal. The school is amazing. I have an interview with the Principal, AP, and Lead Teacher. The lead teacher shows me around. (I should add this school just won a major award for being awesome, has a juggling team and an all girls robotics team with the coolest name ever)
1:00: Get to the Arts-Infused school. It is also awesome looking inside. They totally dig my theater/music/art background. The 5th grade lead teacher shows me around.
2:15: I get home only to discover an email from a 3rd school (one that I had been told wanted to talk to me already) asking me to come in Thursday morning for an interview.
6:00: Go out to dinner with my wife and our friend.
7:00: Get a phone call from the Director of Personnel saying that I’ve been recommended for a 4th grade position at the school I visited first.
THURSDAY-
9:00: Go to my interview at the 3rd school. Their IT Coordinator also works at the school that offered me a job. She says I should leap at the opportunity and tells me how awesome that school is while giving me a tour of this school.
10:00: Go to the district office. Sign my Acceptance Letter.
11:00: Get home to discover an email from a 4th school that wanted me to come in for an interview. Write a very nice email back thanking them for the offer, but I have already accepted a position.
I feel like quite the boss. From Clearance Interview to Done in less than 24 hours. Zero resumes sent out. Amazing job for the Fall. Amazing
