Interviews are looming ahead. I am in the process of tweeking, or rather completely scratching my resume. Basically a resume must state that you are the best candidate for the job in one page, not two, and bullets that use action verbs that would attract a reader into noticing the amazing qualities you possess. In this era of the college graduate, I am competing against secondary people who think that middle school kids are cute, and yet have no idea what it means to teach a middle school kid. On their agenda are lectures and five page research papers! What a way to make a middle school kid want to drop out...
Back to the interviews.
My husband and I have been debating the proper attire to wear to the interviews. Some suggest suits which is my husband's choice. I want something that says I am a fun person, and I that I put more effort into my waredrobe then just picking out a basic suit. So, I have opted for the black pencil skirt, white button down shirt, bright green - short sleeved cardigan, peeptoe pumps, and a super awesome green ring. Does this say anything about my teaching ability?- no. BUT, it does say that I am not afraid of color, which could translate into a person who is not afraid to think outside of the box! Yeah me!
SO, I am the carrot dangling in front of you - with red hair (orange in certain light) and the green shirt!

Lesson plans, attendance, grading papers, teaching, monitoring progress, preparing tests, and preparing for tests, making sure lessons are structured for each learner in the classroom, faculty meetings, professional development, dealing with life at home, pets, husbands, laundry, AND managing to stay in control and SANE... This is the life of a teacher.
