Dear NIWP cohorts:
I am pleased to announce that I have accepted the Media Technology position for which I interviewed last week at Ferndale. Woo hoo!
Honestly, the offer took me by surprise, as I was sure I had fumbled the interview altogether. At some point while trying to answer a very simple question, it felt as if my brain had frozen over and I was unable to articulate my thoughts. I was so befuddled at the moment that I felt like bolting from the room and never coming back!
I was told that I would receive word by Friday of last week. When Friday passed with no phone call (I was on my way to Missoula, MT that day), I wrote the whole thing off and went back to looking for a job.
Late yesterday, however, I got a phone call from the principal with a job offer. I was so overwhelmed by the news that I had to think about it overnight. Today, I am getting ready to pack a few things, and make plans for the move.
I want to thank each of you for your encouragement and input during our program. I feel like I can move into the classroom with confidence and poise. Thanks for making my July one to never forget.
All the best,
Timothy
P.S. Anna, let's try to connect!

What great news Timothy. Isn't it funny when you think an interview goes bad and actually it was so much better than you thought? What a beautiful part of the state to live in also. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine you with brain freeze let alone bolting from a room....of course you got the job...you exude self confidence and present yourself well every time you open your mouth (well, almost every time)so glad your search is over! I haven't written a lick except to put a couple of syllabi together for my advanced classes.....feel kind of sorry for the poor little devils.... rigor is my new middle name! Enjoy what's left of your summer...lp
