Jobs. Sigh.

Mmm. I’m still looking for a job. Actually, I’ve found a job I want—they just need to want me. I'm sure I could be good at the job and it's a company that I can believe in. And I could proofread! And I liked my interviewers! I have a tremendous desire to send each of the them a fruit basket and shout “Pick me! Pick me!” at their windows. I am restrained by the knowledge that it’s not proper professional conduct to do so. I think I did well in the first half of the interview, but during the behavioral I was less stunning. Sigh. Time to sit down and pray. I wanna work there:)

There is another one on the horizon that’s interesting—I’m just not sure they have the job particularly well defined. This troubles me. In education it’s very much “Here’s your job. Do it and everything else that might come up or need to be done to do this job excellently.” And that means the job gets massive and unwieldy quite quickly unless excellence is optional for the teacher. It’s not optional for me, and I’m not up for playing the saint who lives at her job and works both days of the weekend again.

"during the behavioral" what does that mean? Talking about how you would handle discipline problems?

Maybe you can find a job as a "Saint understudy", although it probably would not look as good on a resume.

I hope that you are doing well. BTW-I'll be in Michigan from Feb. 23-March 24. Look me up if you are in town.
