Door Shut....

So I made the decision to apply for the Prairie High School history teaching position.
I realized I was agonizing over the decision to just send an application in...as if that would mean I would actually have a job.
Friends advised to keep walking through doors until they close...
So I did.  I sent my application in.  I made phone calls to places like ESD 112 and I spoke to Human Resource people that were very helpful.  I paid $70. and was finger printed.  I spoke to another Human Resources person who helped me with the 8 different forms I was to fill out to apply for State Certification...

Sigh....

The thing is I just worked really hard for the past two years to fulfill the certification requirements for the NPUC - Which by the way means NOTHING to the State of Washington...I just received that certification 2 months ago! And now I get to jump through another set of hoops...what fun...

But I started jumping one by one.  I spent most of yesterday driving and calling and collecting information I needed to get all my papers in order to send off to apply for State certification (you can apply without certification which I had done).

This morning I received an email which stated
"Thank you for considering employment with Battle Ground Public Schools. Your qualifications have been carefully considered; however, another applicant has been selected for the History Teacher position at PHS. We regret that this decision cannot be more favorable at this time, but we want to thank you for your time and interest in Battle Ground Public Schools."

What a nice rejection letter....

On to other things....whatever they may be....
