Interviews

So, yesterday morning at 8:30 I had my very first teaching interview! It was for a 4th Grade position at Carlisle. I was a little nervous but felt at peace and confident going into it. First, I talked to a group of 4th Grade teacher (many of Angela's friends). I felt that like went well. We got done like 15 minutes early, so just talked and stuff for the rest of the time. Then I went in a talked with the two Principals. They were very nice and relaxed and I felt that I was able to answer their questions well. Next I sat down with the Human Relations Director and she told me about Salary and Benefits and also gave me a tour of the building. I was done by 10:00. I felt good after the interview, I didn't feel that there was anything I could have done better.

At 3:30 yesterday afternoon, the Principal called me back already!!! He sounded very tired and like it had been a long day. He thanked me for coming in for the interview and said he had a very good time chatting with me but that they had an excellent pool of candidates that day. He said they they had offered the job to someone else, but if he could have he would have hired 5 out of the 6 they had interviewed.

BUT, he next told me that they would really like me to come in next Tuesday for the 1st Grade Interviews. He asked if I would like to do that and of course I said I did!! So, I now have interview #2 next Tuesday morning at 9:30 am.

I feel like God is really working in this situation, because in all reality, 1st grade would be my dream job! They grade I have always wanted to teach! I'm really looking forward to Tuesday and praying that this is where he will want me to be!
