Well a lot has transpired since my last post. To begin with CMS has posted quite a few jobs, over 300 total however only a few are for Pre-K or Kindergarten teachers. I knew I was limiting myself by only getting a B-K license though. First I applied for any of the Pre-K and Kindergarten positions. I also applied for all of the K-3 positions just in case. Next I sent each of these schools and/or centers a cover letter and my resume. The cover letter was personalized and by this I mean each letter was addressed to the principal, the address and the phone number was added to the top of the letter, and the school and specific job posted was entered into the body of the letter itself. Therefore putting a personal touch to the letter also by sending these to each school I applied for I showed them that I was very interested in their position.
I was excited to receive many responses to these. Of course all of the K-3 positions were not Kindergarten so I marked those off my list. But received emails from 3 places promising an interview. So here is where it got sticky and I became very anxious after talking to a friend.
Ok So last Thursday I received a phone call from Mrs. Collins asking for an interview on Monday the 26th at 9:00. Now this is where I hope to be teaching next year as I have been there for 11 years as a TA. With that interview set I was on top of the world. I got so excited my stomach did a flip and I couldn't eat my lunch!!!! A couple of hours later I received a call from Starmount Pre-K. Now the funny thing about this was this was less than 24 hours after I applied and sent them my resume. Also this job is still posted on the website! This interview is set for the Wednesday before my Idlewild interview and here in lies the problem. A person must take the FIRST job offered from a CMS school. I did find out however that they have to actually speak to you to offer. So now the waiting begins but I know that all will work out and that God has a plan and a place for me! Keep following and my search for a job turns into my first year of teaching!!!!!
