Re: Anne Employment considerations

[Guest guest]

Hon, you can apply and request that none of your referrals be contacted unless there is a serious intent to hire you and you have been notified so you can give permission. I have done this in the past and have found the new employer willing to abide by this request. If you are not being seriously considered then there is no reason for your current employer to even know that you have applied.

Go for it. You never know about these things unless you give them a try.

I enjoy my students and am valued in the school district because of my rapport with the kids and the fact that my students pass their state exit-level English exams at a very high percentage. Because of this, the district has not made my health problems and number of sick days taken an issue.The downside is that teaching is strenuous and the days are long. It's me in charge of nearly a hundred teen-agers in total each day, with only one period off and 25 minutes for lunch. Then, of course, we all have to sponsor clubs and help out at evening events, plus grade all of those papers!There was an ad in today's paper for an education director of the city Children's Museum.

Obviously, I'm well-qualified for the position and while it, too, probably involves some nights and weekends, there wouldn't be the day-in, day-out LONG days of having to control teen-agers! Also, I teach outside of my home city, so the 35-minute commute each way every day would be eliminated.Should I apply? I'd like to, just to have options, but I don't want to upset or offend my current principal if the museum would call him. I'm afraid of jeopardizing my current employment!
