So I dont post much, but I do lurk and I wanted to share my good news
Last October I decided to look for a new job. I was poking around the city of albuquerque government job listings looking for interesting positions and there was a random teacher position. I wasnt really sure what it was for but since I am getting my teacher license I went ahead and sent them a copy of my resume. I heard nothing back.
Until Dec. They called me for an interview and I went in on Jan. 1st. It is for a head start position, head start is a government run preschool/early childhood program for at-risk children. Mainly the impoverished. It was a rather ordinary interview and they said they would call in two week with an offer if I got it. I heard nothing back.
Until today. They called and offered me the position. It will be in an early head start program which is 6w-3yrs. There are two classes 6w-18mo and a 18mo-36mo. I do not know which one it will be yet. I will be making $27,000 a year (way more than I do now) with full benefits.
Their are only two things that make me nervous about it. 1) I have never worked a full time 40 hrs a week job before so that will be a real change and 2) it will be strange spending more time with other people's kids than my own. But these kids will be in huge need of a stable environment with caring teachers so I think I will be doing some good.
