velvetpageI had two job interviews today, for grade 4 French Immersion and 4-6 Core French, respectively. I got a call two hours after leaving the second, saying no, I didn't get it. The other one is only a half-day, so even if I get it, I'd still be placed for the other half of the day. But I don't think I got it. I have one more interview, for a half-day Library job at a nice school, but in my current mood, I know I won't get it, either.
Intellectually, I know that the posting process is supposed to allow schools to choose the candidate who is the best fit for that school, and that sometimes it has nothing to do with qualifications. On the other hand, I know that I've had lots of interviews and no offers, so I have to wonder if I'll really fit anywhere. How likely is it that the board will place me in a job where I'll fit?
Am I doomed to be shunted from bad job to bad job until I give up in disgust?
My faith in myself is at an all-time low.
