Interviews and all that jazz
Jun. 16th, 2004 05:21 pmI have come to the conclusion that the interview process is more trouble than it's worth.
I have done eight interviews for jobs within my own board, for which I was qualified and in which I was very interested. That's in addition to the five jobs for which I applied, but did not get called for an interview. I have yet to be offered any of these jobs. And right now, I truly don't care.
I know that by June 25th, the board will have placed me an a job which suits the specifications I give them as closely as possible - having placed everyone with more seniority than me first, of course. Worst case scenario is that the new school is no better than the current one. I will still have had a summer home with my daughter, who will hopefully be starting to speak a few words of French by then. So I'm no longer going to let this process sap my energy. My one remaining interview is not worth the stress of extra planning.
I feel the way I imagine my kids start feeling after failing test after test after test. After a while, a D becomes a good mark.
That is really sad. Or would be, if I could summon up the energy to care.
