NC Interviews

(Here is the welcome sign to NC)
We left Friday, April 18, and got down to Charlotte, a little before 6 pm. We stopped about every 2-3 hours. The scenery was beautiful. There were trees/shrubs with these pretty purple flowers. To me, the trees had very skinny trunks. After supper, we soaked in the hot tub.

Saturday, at the convention center, was the Charlotte-Mecklenburgh job fair. I dropped off about 20 resume packets. I did not talk to all 20 schools. Some had long lines. Standing there for a period of time, bothered my hip and my leg some. A lot gave job offers, some openings, they only took resumes. Will see...I do have a letter of intent. Supposedly, if I don't have an assignment by July, I will get one. God has something for me.

I made phone calls on Thursday, Friday, and again on Monday. I received two more interviews on Tuesday and one on Wednesday. Sunday, we drove to the beach, Monday, drove up to Wilson, NC. Tuesday, we were in Wilson for the morning, and over to Lexington for the afternoon. We stayed in Thomasville for the night. Wednesday, drove over to Troy. When I was done in Troy, headed for home.

Nothing in the other three. Lexington, my name is in the pile to be considered for an opening in the fall. I am a little too early for most of these places, because last week, they gave out contracts. They are due this or next week. The majority of the school districts will not know about openings until next month sometime. Hopefully, I will get more interviews throughout the summer.

Yuma, AZ

I first met with somebody from Yuma, AZ back in March at the Akron U teacher job fair. Last week, an AP from a middle school called while I was at Biblestudy. We talked for a bit of time. The next night, after supper, I filled out the application and faxed it to the Human Resources department and called this lady back.

This afternoon, two principals called me from two different middle schools. I have a phone interview this evening at 6 pm and another one Monday afternoon at 1 pm.

Yuma is located on the border of AZ and CA. Yuma is 3 hours away from Phoenix and 2 1/2 hours away from San Diego, CA. One would have to drive to either one of those cities to fly out, because the Yuma airport is small and makes tickets expensive.

My mom does not want me to move to AZ. I think that is about a 4 day drive, compare to a 2 day drive to Dallas, TX. Mom is saying that she is answering for God by saying that I can't go. I say whatever God wants will happen.

Today, I filled out an online application for the system of OH, that other principals will see.
