Prayers on their way! Teaching gifted kids is not without its challenges, but they are of a whole different nature!
I'll keep my fingers crossed. The best of luck to you and your family. You deserve it!

Kim, that sounds like a wonderful opportunity! We have 3 teachers in my family and I know how stressful/frustrating/rewarding these jobs are at times. But it's so important to find a good school and staff support.
Fingers crossed! :)
Asking for PRAYER could NEVER be a jinx!!!! ;) I just said one for Grant! Keep us posted!
Hugs,
Kim
Prayers on the way!
I'm really sorry that your husband has been completely "stressed" out with his present teaching position.
I will keep both of you in my thoughts, hoping that he gets not only that needed interview, but a teaching job that offers more appreciative reward.
Another Prayer on the Way.
More prayers on the way. Pile them on!
For teaching in an inner city school, he has my admiration...but it's not a forever job usually.
Wishing your hubby the best.
Prayers and positive thoughts on the way Kim. :)
Many prayers for Grant. I PRAY he gets that interview!
Keeping fingers crossed :)
Still no word from the school district. Its now Wednesday and I had hoped we'd hear before now. How long do you think it would take them to sort through all the resumes they recieved and call a few candidates to come in for an interview? Am I too anxious? Would it take them a week to do that? They surely must have recieved a hundred or more resumes!
Perhaps " several" Resumes are being reviewed and set aside, your Husbands being one of them!!!!! :cool:
I certainly hope they call him soon~ !!!!
Still sending Positive Vibrations you way, Catnapper!!!!
Unfortunately school systems can and do take their time. Most school systems dont start interview process until application close date to be fair to all. This is happening in middle of school year and not the summer, peoples schedules are more complex for interview scheduling (personal at the school).Quote:

It's a given they are doing the "pre-screening" and setting aside potential candiates to call. My guess and from experince when hubby looked for teaching positions, I would say if you dont hear within 2 weeks, it probably isnt going to happen.
Prayers being sent.
Make sure he calls to check the status of his app too. Employers respect someone who shows a keen interest in the job.
That's what I was going to mention. I'm not sure how the school board recruitment works but if it's a popular position then it would take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month to go through the resumes and start setting up interviews with all people involved. It also depends on how fast they need to fill the position.Quote:
