Uh, wrong.
My casual job search quickly turned into a panic as I looked and looked for jobs and found out that not only were many districts not hiring, but some were even letting teachers go. I checked the postings daily (or more), traveled to at least 15 schools to try to get my foot in the door, and ended up going through 7 interviews.
And now...
I HAVE A JOB!!!
Yesterday I got a surprise phone call from a principal who had interviewed me about a month ago. She ended up having a position suddenly open up, and remembered how fabulous I was. (Well, who could forget???) She offered me the job, and after a hectic couple of hours trying to figure out my life, I said YES!
I am going to be at Oak Hollow Elementary teaching... 6th grade. I know.
I am so excited to be over the interviewing process, and I'm hoping that the stress of starting my career won't happen for a couple weeks, so I can just enjoy this for a while. :)

Jess, that is so awesome, especially considering the state of things!! We are so happy for you! Draper will be a great area to work in, and so close to home! Hooray!
Way to go!!! We are so happy for you!
HIP HIP HOORAAAYYY!!! Oh man I am so happy for you!! I have an interview on Tuesday for a 6th grade position, so cross your fingers and maybe we can be 6th grade teaching buddies! I think it's only fitting, since we helped each other survive Level 3 and student teaching--how could we NOT help each other survive the real thing??
:)
Yay! That is so exciting. You have a REAL JOB! Congratulations :)
Yes, I am the proud Mom of a 6th grade teacher. I'm also the Mom of a 6th grader. How strange and cool at the same time! I love you, Jessica! Congratulations on making it happen...finishing college and now onto a grown-up job. You are AMAZING! (And I'm not prejudice, I'm sure!)
