As for the interview... it was terrible. The lady interviewing me was really short with me, interrupted me while talking, rushed through the interview (another person came in the office about 3 minutes after we sat down and asked when we would be done, she looked at me and said, oh we are almost done here!), and basically acted like everything I said was wrong. The whole time I was there I felt like the DC employees were really disorganized which was hard to handle because I kept getting interrupted by people walking in late, the interviewer texting and her phone going off. Needless to say I was not that thrilled with the situation so it is definitely crossed off my list of potential places to work. It was a good experience for me though to see a different side of the country and how their schools work. Also, to be part of a real interview was nice as well, even though I felt like it went terribly. :)
It was also kind of a bummer because when I got home I checked my email and had about 5 other emails saying that positions had been filled that I applied for, a.k.a I didn't get those jobs. :) It is hard to think that I spent the time filling out the applications and really haven't heard from any school (aside from DC) but also with the economy the way it is, I really have not been thinking I will get a job since so many people with experience are being laid off. It is one of those double edged swords.... schools say that they want people with experience, but how is a person to get experience if they aren't hired anywhere! :)
Subbing is likely going to be my ticket to some kind of experience and hopefully landing a long-term leave replacement. Where to sub? That is the question at this point! I am trying to decide what to do in terms of my future: subbing alone? Subbing and finishing my math (and potentially Spanish minor) and the reading endorsement at WWU? Subbing and grad school?School alone? Goodness! Many options (which is a blessing!) but hard to have to keep switching gears all of the time. :) Only time will tell but I sure hope I know soon since it is half way through July already! :)
