Career Fair

So today, I drove 2 hours to attend an Educational Career Fair for prospective teachers. It was a much better turnout than the one I attended a few weeks ago. There were a few schools that think they are going to be hiring social studies teachers for this upcoming school year...YES, I did choose to go into a teaching field that doesn't have very many opportunities. And those social studies jobs out there are usually held by male coaches who have had the same job for 40 plus years! Good thing I serve a God who has a job already lined up and ready to go...I just have to be actively searching!

Anywho...these are my observations from the day:

1. Men...if you are going to wear this...

don't wear these...

that should be common sense to you!!!

2. Girls...if you are going to wear this color pants....

aka "BLACK"

don't wear these color shoes...

aka "BROWN"

this also should be common sense!

3. If you are a teacher, principal, or HR specialist representating your school at a career fair and someone comes to your explains that they are a Secondary Social Science Major (aka, History teacher), DON'T and I repeat DON'T...SNORT and say "well good luck with that" in a snide voice!!!! Yes, I am fully aware that I am applying for jobs that are at a minimum. Yes, I am aware that if I was to go into Special Education that I could have had a job yesterday. But you know what? I need to teach that which I have a passion for, and you need to respect my educational choices...NOT diss on it! By tactful, be polite, direct me to your website, etc, etc, etc!

Those are my observations for today!

Oh by the way...
