Awww, TVSG. I hope you're doing it to point out all the ignorance that revolves through the universe. "Little do they know... what they missed out on..."
I had a writer friend in school who kept all of her publication rejections for her own amusement. She smiled at them, cussed at them, laughed, and snorted.

Yeah that's why I'm doing so I can laugh at them in the future. I'm not qualified to throw them away right now.-lol
I have them stored away and planned on looking at all of them one last time before I threw them away once I get hired
That's good. I would love to discard all the, Thank you for applying emails, we've decided to go another direction.
or There has been a change of plans. They use any wording that comes up, and I have been in small mom & pop company's, people swear to me, We are going to let everyone that came in for an interview know, one way or the other, by next Monday thru Friday, whether they got the job or not, via a phone call, personally, since they have spent their time and gas to come all the way here and interview. Still waiting for those calls,... But you know what, don't mean a damn thing to me, it ain't personal. It's their lack of professionalism, and the fact that if they couldn't do it, they shouldn't have said it. People like that only degrade and disrepute their business, and believe me, word of mouth is bad advertisement for some of these businesses. Too me, that kind of stuff, their un-professionalism isn't personally an attack, just a poor work ethic, so I remember how they handle their business. Their loss.
Keep up the good work, or, the good look for work.
Yes, Why not go for it!! You will not be at too much at a disadvantage from the people that are just graduating.
One of my sisters has a masters in ed, with a special ed certification. She worked as a TSA.
Maybe you could start something in June. If i remember correctly, she did her student teaching during the summer months.
She became a teacher this past September and loves her school. (It is very important to get a good principal. They can make your life wonderful or miserable!)
Also, I don't know if this would apply to you, but you might want to find out if you are eligible for the return to work tuition vouchers?
again good luck!
p.s. She complains that her TSA's and Classroom assistants don't have knowledge or training of how the reward system works, so you acutally have knowledge that will make you valuable in a classroom.

She has been wonderful for him and I admire the works she does...special ed. teaching.
I have a Masters in Elementary Ed. but due to the lack of jobs in teaching when I got my degree, I sort of drifted out of teaching because the only jobs I could get were in preschools which pay very, very badly.
Eventually I went on to customer service and office work again because they were steady gigs...
However, I am rethinking going back into it if I can get certified in my current state or the one next to me. It's sort of scary because I have not taught in a long time but if I can get a job, even as an aide, it will be a start in the right direction.
I just found out someone got a job after less than 2 interviews...hardly trying (less than a few weeks). I am so frustrated.
I just broke down and cried and had a bit fight w/my husband...
I really can't stand everyone else getting jobs but me. I usually get pretty upset...stupid...I mean I am happy for this person (I wrote her a wonderful reference letter) but still....
How do you guys handle the 'rejection?'
I often feel very angry and jealous because I wonder "Why doesn't anyone want to hire me. What did I do wrong?" Sometimes other thoughts that go through my head are "I need money and no one cares."

That's why it's important not to give off the vibe on interviews that you NEED MONEY. I don't recommend calling after a job interview to follow up especially when you are unemployed. As a unemployed person the last thing you want to do is give off the vibe that "I'm only here because I need money"
Or you can wait ten days and give a follow-up call letting them know you are still interested. Just don't call the very next day. Give them time to think or come to some initial decision. ;-)
