Win Some, Lose Some

I got an email that the position I interviewed for has been filled.  I didn't get a phone call to tell me I got the job, so I'm guessing it is not me.

That is OK.  I had a feeling, based on the questions that were asked in the interview, they already had a candidate in mind.  today at school, I learned that was indeed the case.

I just applied to the secretary spot--the secretary got the advocate's job--that just opened.  I figure something will come up that will at least get my foot in the door. 

I also just opened my application for teaching positions.  Man, there is a LOT of information they want that--for me--makes me want to find a time machine so I can recall what I did 20+ years ago.  I'm note sure I would ever really WANT to go back to teaching, but I would really like a job with benefits and still get to work with kids.  I know in a couple of years the assistant media center director will be retiring from our high school, and her job is a salaried position with benefits.  I'd love that one.  There was another junior high job--in another town--but I missed the window to apply for that one because I didn't have this "certified"; application finished yet.

So, my job hunt continues.  I have felt more settled that the right thing will come along.  I hope that means the right thing for Genius Golfer will come also.  He applied again to the university nearby.  We understand that it takes 5-6 applications before they really consider you for hiring.
