Well shoot, the last district in the Bay Area (and the last one I applied to) just started school yesterday.  They did not call me for an interview.  I must now hope that some district somewhere needs more teachers based on increased enrollment.

There really hasn’t been much in the way of open teacher positions this week so far so I updated my CA community college registry info and started applying directly to colleges.  This does not mean that there are open teacher positions for colleges either – there aren’t – but I thought I’d be more intentional with my job search.  Up to this point, I have only been scanning the college sites; now I have put my application info into their systems for pool and adjunct positions, even if they don’t yet exist.

I had a friend tell me about a potential opening at a private college prep Jr/Hi School yesterday.  I would love to teach at such a place, but they generally don’t pay well.  Still, I noticed two things when on their site: 1) I am in no way qualified to teach the open position (AP Physics); 2) The place doesn’t have an Art or Humanities department and they could use another history teacher as well… and maybe a Music person.  I can fit the bill for all those positions.  Perhaps I will get a call from this place after all.
