There may be hope...

I had an interview today in my current district for the position that is being created to replace all of the librarians. I'm not sure how well it went but I think I did okay. The committee of 6 teachers and administrators asked questions that I expected but also threw a few curve balls at me. After comparing notes with a colleague that also interviewed we had many of the same questions but a few that they just randomly threw at each of us. The job posting doesn't close until this Friday so I'm sure we won't hear anything for at least another week.

In 2 weeks I have another interview in a district that is closer to where I live. This would be a "regular" school librarian position in an elementary school and would be the job I would pick if given the choice between the two. My only hope is they are looking for someone with fresh ideas for their school.

I have applied for every position in the state that deals with school libraries so hopefully something will good will come from all of this. I have even ventured outside of the state to apply for a few positions if it looked like I might be able to afford to live in the area of the school.

I will keep you updated as to how the job hunting is going just keep checking in!
