You are the weakest link -- goodbye!
Okay, so I'm home from the job fair. I don't have a job. That was the most frightening and overwhelming thing I've ever done. I'm still trying really hard to take it all in. Because of how scared I was, I only took on like...four interviews. I was in one school's top three...but dismissed hours later with a typed, fill in the name slip of paper saying sorry a little later in the day. And one lady flat out told me that I don't have what it takes to teach overseas and that the school I taught for was such an oddity that my experience pretty much doesn't count. I was floored. I appreciated her honesty...I really did. But dang is it hard to sit and smile and hear that and not feel incredibly tiny and stupid. So, yeah. What are we going to do? We only have a short time to get ourselves together, rent a place and get new jobs...I am so worried and frustrated. I don't know what to do. I'm sort of glad I wasn't picked. I'm still scared to go through what I've been through. And I hated my time teaching. Even student teaching. Why am a beating a dead horse career path!!!
Simple: I really don't know where to turn or what to do with myself.
