I didn't get the job

The principal called me today. She said that a middle school language arts teacher in her building requested a transfer to this position but now this creates an opening in language arts.  She asked me if I want to be considered for it. I said yes and I reminded her that I have three years experience teaching language arts. Then I asked her if I could get feedback from the interview. She put me on hold and grabbed my file. She said she liked my lesson plans very much and it is clear that I put a lot of thought into them and she liked my wording. She said having the children sing was a minor thing. She said that the essay that I graded was a 3, not a 5 like I thought and that is a red flag, but she liked all my comments throughout the essay.  (Thr rubric was a 1-6) She also said I presented myself well throughout the interview. I said I really hope I am a candidate for the language arts position and she just said she will keep my information. Then I thanked her and she said, "Have a great summer and maybe we'll be in touch in the future." That doesn't sound too promising.

I am very sad.

Re: I didn't get the job

  • I'm sorry to hear that. At least you found out right after the interview and did not have to wait a month to find out. Keep looking. We still have the WHOLE summer to get hired. I am sure we will both find something!!!

  • Thank you. I really hope I get something but it's not looking too good right now. I hope you have better luck then me.

    Last night I got a Facebook message from a former co-worker saying she heard that a student teacher got the job in the district where I just applied. I asked her if it was the one I interviewed for and she said no, it was the language arts one. WTF? The principal just told me yesterday that it was going to be advertised and that I would be considered. I guess that was a lie.
