You are all very familiar with my interest in moving back east (Canada). Although I think the east is a beautiful place, I have grown to consider the west "home" and we have become quite comfortable financially here.

As you all know, DH has been wanting to move back for quite some time. We both apply for jobs and I am quite happy when we never hear anything.

Well, yesterday I get a call at school asking me to do a phone interview today at 8:30am my time. It is currently almost 7. I have been awake all night long. I don't know what will happen if I'm successful in this application.

Things were just starting to fall in to place here. Next week I have an interview for a 1-3 class. It's a perm. position and I have a VERY good chance at getting it. The principal at the school is also my current principal.

Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.

Gosh, I don't know if I should wish you luck to get the job or NOT to get it. Sorry you are faced with such mixed feelings and indecision.

{{{{{Paula}}}}} I know you've struggled with this for so long. Let us know what happens. We're always here.

Paula, what happened with your phone interview??

By Paulas on Sunday, June 11, 2006 - 06:33 pm:

Well, I didn't get the job. I am actually quite surprised. The interview went really well. I certainly had mixed feelings about the move and the quality of life we would have there. DH had found a home online with 40 acres and overlooking the ocean so I was excited about that.

I was away when they left the message saying they had offered the job to someone else. I will call tomorrow to see where I went wrong.

Maybe it's for the best.

Well...........did you really want it? I guess I'm confused about what you really want to do. It will be interesting to find out why they didn't offer it to you.

By Paulas on Sunday, June 11, 2006 - 09:48 pm:

I didn't really want it, no. I did love the house. It would be wonderful if I could have had that house, here, for that price

I guess I feel as though I let DH down. Also, I'm not used to "not" getting jobs once I've gotten an interview so it's a blow to my ego. However, I am happy to be staying here.

By Karen~admin on Monday, June 12, 2006 - 07:42 am:

In that case, I do hope your can find out why. That *is* upsetting.

{{{Paula}}} What a tough situation. I always say that everything happens for a reason.

I actually called today and asked one of the interviewers what I could have done differently. She responded, "Absolutely nothing." This made me feel good. They hired someone who had been working in the district. I guess it makes sense.

Wish me luck on my interview this week for a job locally.
