Unfortunately, the teaching job I got doesn't want me. :(
Apparently one of the old teachers who once taught there was available to teach there and the students preferred to have her rather than someone new. So once again I'm looking for a teaching job.

It's annoying, because I only got to teach three students on one night. I got paid for it, but really I would've preferred them to give me a couple of nights. But I guess it's better they let me know earlier.

Oh well, I guess it's back to night fill and hoping that a student comes along one day. Perhaps I should contact some of the schools around my area and give them my contact details so that I'm on file if a vacancy arises.

good luck im sure you will find something if you are persistant and resourceful
ben, very sorry to hear. it was likely not a case of the school not wanting you, but the students wanting the teacher they were familiar with and not willing to give someone new a chance.

well, you probably know that already, but i've been on the receiving end and it doesn't do much for one's confidence.

sorry to hear, and always keep looking and networking. things have a way of turning up when you least expect it.
