Today is the resume of the classes of colleges, universities and public schools from their sembreak. Even before school year 2011-2012 have started, my co-teacher and I have already planned resigning and we grabbed this chance by passing resume to different public schools.
I have plans of passing my resume to a public school nearby but I can say that my heart wasn't fully prepared for it. And so while I was browsing my twitter timeline this morning, this tweets just popped out of no where.
What a creepy coincidence. Of all the days, of all the times, why should those be
tweeted this day? On the same day that I am planning to pass my resume to a school? I thought, "is this a sign?" And maybe, it was really a sign.
Around 4 in the afternoon, I haven't done my application letter yet. Add to it that I haven't printed my documents yet. I finished everything at around 5 pm and arrived at the school around 6pm. I asked if I can submit my application to them as I wasn't sure whether public schools are already accepting applications for the next school year. The guy at the guard house told me that I should just probably come back tomorrow as it was already late... but I insisted to pass my resume thinking that I will
just have to leave it there. WRONG. The guy asked me to submit my resume to the office and to my surprise the principal was still there and boom! instant interview to an applicant who's just wearing jeans, fitted shirt, with orange-colored painted nails plus a henna tattoo on her right foot. PERFECT.
I'll save myself from recalling what happened next as it gave me a trauma. I WASN'T PREPARED FOR THE ORAL EXAM INTERVIEW. So right there and then, I've already given the principal the impression that I am an incompetent applicant. But the best part of the whole thing? THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A PHYSICS TEACHER WHICH HAPPENS TO BE MY MAJORSHIP. EXCELLENT. So the tweets were indeed a sign. Occupation. Employ. Hire. Only, for me, the hire part was questionable. JUST. PLAIN. AWESOME.
Right now I feel really awful for not being able to satisfy that principal but that gave me the motivation to strive harder. I must at all cause find a job before this school year ends and must prepare for it diligently. I am nervous and right now, i'm 80% sure that I won't make it to that school. But i'll try harder, there are still a lot of places to go to. I must not give up right? RIGHT. :)
