The disadvantage in not getting a job so far away from home is that I now can't have a good cry about it for hours. XD I got through the first stage, and apparently they wish there were two jobs so that I could have one too and I was so close to getting it and blah blah I still didn't. So. I'm tired and I'm grumpy and I have to start looking for jobs again and I just. Really don't think I'm very good at this. Not the interview process, that's fine - the teaching.

Wish I hadn't come here. Am now fruitlessly in love with York.

Things'll improve.

Not today.

Oh sweetie *hugs* It'll happen one day, I'm sure. And I just know you're good at teaching - look at what that kid said to his friend a while ago about what a great teacher you were.

*snuggles* Feel free to email me if you want a virtual shoulder to cry on xxx

Nny, dude, look at everything everyone has said about your teaching. Your advisors, your mentors -- and, far more importantly than that, the kids who've learned from you, the kids who've lit up with understanding at your lessons, the kids who get excited when they hear you'll be teaching them that day. You are very good at teaching; I can say that with absolute certainty even from here.

Job searching sucks; it's wearing and dispiriting and hard work that often takes a good while to pay off. But it's very much not nothing to have come that close to getting the job. That means you were an excellent candidate who just happened to have the bad luck to be in the same applicant pool as someone who was a marginally better fit for that particular school.

You'll get one. Things will improve, as you say. And then you'll get to prove in practice what a fabulous teacher you are, and you'll be doing what you love instead of submitting resumes about it.

Gen says what I would say and with more eloquence, so I will restrain myself to seconding this.

Because you are - not will be, but are - a wonderful and passionate teacher. And whatever kids get you will be incredibly lucky to have you.
