I need to SCREAM............

Boy haven't had a post like THIS in a while...JOB RELATED of course...everyone around me is getting a job...getting a promotion etc....I know I seem like a beoch for not being happy for them but I am flat out jealous! I cannot take this anymore....I wonder if I should have changed careers...I am sorry to vent

:

Hugs for you, hang in there!!!

Thanks Ladies

hang in there...

Please don't change careers!!! Kids need teachers who are pationate about thier jobs. I know its SO competitive and so frustrating, but something will come around soon. Just keep your head up!

couldnt have said it better myself!

Hi Kathleen

I am so sorry you are discouraged. You are a teacher - right? I was just wondering, do you have something against working in the city? Because they desperately need teachers. I taught in the Bronx and loved it! In a few days I start a new teaching job in Queens though.

Good luck!

Um not at all...just Brooklyn...where is Queens? Do they need teachers at your school? I am elem ed

When did you graduate? And where did you go?
I am just wondering how long you've been trying. I've heard it takes sometimes 4-5 years to get a good job. That is why I am probably moving (and well, home prices).
Don't give up on your dreams.

Im working in Woodside. There are no positions available at my school but call the nyc board of ed. first thing in the morning. Im sure they have openings! Call the office of recruitment. With your masters you will start with 46,503. Not too shabby!

The phone number for the Office of Recruitment is (718) 935-4080

thank you! What school in woodside?

I wish I knew of something for you! My school hired a bunch of el ed teachers last year and this year they hired 2 but dual language only.

don't give up things will eventually work out. I teach art, so it is VERY difficult to find a full-time art position, so I know the feeling. But don't give up!

Im sorry....I know the feeling...seriously...and it sux!
