Well... I've spent the last oh... 2 hours or so working on an application for Odessa R-VII school district. I went onto good ol' MoReap this morning to check for new job postings, and Odessa was on there for 5th grade. Just posted today. I called the school as instructed on the site, filled out all the paperwork (Lots of paperwork) went over to Barb's office to fax it. I felt good faxing it because I spotted the opening THE DAY IT WAS POSTED. Got home, started to work on house work and the phone rings.
"Hello"
"Is this Cassie Krause?"
"Yes, this is she."
"Mrs. Billings [Principal for Odessa Middle School where the 5th grade opening is], wanted me to let you know that all the positions have be filled. And that she is antipating no more openings for the 2006-2007 school year. Thank you for your application, it will be kept on file."
"I understand, thank you for calling."
-End phone call
I was left sitting in the chair speechless for five minutes. DO I really have THAT BAD of KARMA when it comes to getting a teaching job? In a matter of hours from the time the posting went up, and me filling out everything the job has been filled. I'm seriously beginning to doubt ever getting my dream job. No dream job . . . no teaching overseas. . .
Welcome to the land of self- doubt and depression, Mrs. Cassie Krause
