Happy Monday, lovelies!
The past few days have been a blur for me! I went to Indiana to visit my family while my husband was in Italy for a conference, and came home Saturday, hoping to pick him up from the airport close to midnight, and found out that his flight from Chicago to here was cancelled…For no reason. Really??
Long story short, he stayed in a hotel and flew in yesterday morning. I was so excited to see him!! I feel a little ridiculous, but I missed him like crazy even though he was only gone for a few days. I even slept with a polo of his. Oh yeah, I own being a sap 🙂
Today is a big day for me: I have an interview for a music teaching position at an elementary school! Out of thirty applicants, the hiring staff only chose to interview six. Needless to say I am quite nervous. I have only interviewed one other time for a teaching job, and it wasn’t the best experience in the world. It was a group interview, with five other applicants, and we each took turns describing our teaching philosophies. When it was my turn, I began talking about a philosophy that was a little different from everyone elses and talking about how it be effective. When the principal asked me how I would apply that theory to the older students, one of the other applicants interrupted me and said “well, it wouldn’t work” and started to explain how SHE thought it wasn’t a very good theory. In the middle of my question. While I was trying to answer my question. Is it mean to say that I am thankful she wasn’t the one who got the job??
I was pretty ruffled when it happened but I tried to conceal my annoyance and answer the questions. What was even more intimidating was that I was the only candidate they interviewed who had not had any previous teaching experience. I had only been out of school for a semester, and had substitute taught during that time, but every single one of the other interviewees in that room had all been teaching for at least a year and each had started their own choral programs at their respective schools. I was in awe of the amount of experience and wisdom in the room, and I learned SO much by just listening to each candidate talk about their experiences. But I was severely intimidated.
Did you have to go through many interviews before landing your current job?
Stay Classy!

Fantastic outfit Whit! So chic. I cannot believe that women interrupted you like that! That's is very rude. Best of luck to you girl as you go through your interviews. I may have missed it somewhere but are you wanting to teach High School or Elementary? Personally I'm half way through the teaching credential program and hoping to teach English at the high school level.
