AppleOne

I'm saving up for more.

I'm aware that as an educator, my term is fairly short (especially having started in September). I will not know until June 1st whether plans to implement a summer program for THINK Together will be successful. Should I wait until they potentially dismiss me from work for the Summer? I think not!

Surely I can "fall back" on the familiarity of the "second job," but I am knowingly unhappy here -- being surrounded by such unprofessionals. I can not be paid to do nothing and sit on my ass all day. I have a willingness to learn new things, and frankly I am insulted everytime I am not given work to do.

I just e-filed an application for AppleOne this morning, and I am scheduled for an interview on April 10. A temporary job is perfect at the moment; it places me in my desired field and gives me work for the summer (which equals income) until I return to my position at THINK Together/USC. Hopefully at the jobs I'm placed, I will build a tower of contacts to help me in my pursuit to be a teacher/administrator.

The only problem: I mildly dislike interviews. I feel like I'm being observed by a huge microscope, but I invite you to take a look at what I have to offer.
