Networking

After sending over 120 school principals my CV, a number asked me to pop in for a chat. I have followed up with every request. Today I met a local principal who kindly gave up his time, introduced me to his deputy and organised a tour of his lovely school. I was most impressed!
This afternoon I worked on my next application in-between running around collecting the car from the garage, basketball game etc...etc....
When you apply for a job with the DEC, if unsuccessful, you are encouraged to call the panel convenor to ask for feedback. In December one position in a school I applied for (actually two) had never told me I was unsuccessful. So this afternoon I called the deputy from one school for feedback which will hopefully assist me in my future applications. She promised to call me back once she had again looked at and considered my application.
Next week will be a great week I am sure! I am feeling confident. Hey...a double rainbow!
