Hey everyone, please be gentle but still do not hesitate to tell me the truth.
I recently graduated from college and have been flooding all of the school districts in the state with my resume for a high school English teaching position. I have made the follow-up calls to make sure they received my material, etc.
Still haven't heard a thing and we're in the beginning of August
I talked to my adviser from college and she told me not to worry yet and that interviews are probably just starting in most districts, though I find that hard to believe that the districts are waiting until so late in the summer to start interviewing. A friend of mine just got a teaching spot in Mass. and I'm starting to think I'm gonna have to try and substitute for this school year.
My resume is complete and my letters of recommendation are brilliant. I put lots of time into my cover letters, I just can't figure this out!
So basically, just looking to see if anybody knows anything more concrete on the status of the hiring process for most districts. Should I stop keeping my hopes up for an interview at this point?
