My husband is a MASTER CERTIFIED English Teacher. Yet, he is unemployed. He has not been lucky enough to secure a probationary slot since I have known him, and we are going on 7 years now.
It's really sad. He loves to teach, he loves English, he loves reading...all of it.
What frustrates me is that there are about 10 people per job opportunity, and it's not so much that he doesn't get it, it's the lack of consideration in TELLING him.
The last offender, had him come in for an interview 2 weeks ago on a Tuesday.
He dropped off a thank you on Friday.
He called on Monday to see if there had been any decisions made.
He was told that they would be calling THAT DAY to let people know one way of another if they would be coming in for a second interview. The man on the other end took down my husbands name and number and said my husband could be expecting a call.
***A WEEK GOES BY*** (do you hear the crickets?)
Now if you've done the math that is 8 days from the initial interview, and 4 from the day he was told he would be called the same day, (not including weekends, I'm not a sadist or anything!)
The hubs calls again today, (Monday, 9 days since the 1st interview) to see what the status is...after about 10 minutes of beating around the bush the guy FINALLY tells him that they made the calls last week, and while he gave a good interview he wasn't one of the candidates.
Why did they have to string him along, they could have told him LAST week when he called the first time!
My husband is very stressed, distraught, and depressed over his lack of prospects and it's really not fair that these administrators are so inconsiderate. RETURN a PHONE CALL!
Were these people brought up in a barn?
I mean let's not even get into the whole bureacracy of the school system, and the budgetary constraints.
Have a little consideration that the HUMAN BEING you met is eager to have a job or they wouldn't have shown up for the interview.
Also, I love my husband dearly and don't want him to be depressed and jobless, but on top of everything he has more time to hang around the house; watch bad tv and cooking...making a mess in my kitchen.
Although Odie likes having the company...
Will someone please give the poor guy a job!!
