Rejection letter #4 arrived today when I got home from sewing class. About a week ago I sent out about 10-12 letters with resumes for schools in the local area asking about jobs at their school as well....anything!! I have gotten letters from 4 of the schools and have all said no.
I know it only takes one yes but I'm not to hopeful, it is April and it isn't like most teachers would leave in the middle of the year, although, I have known some that have (another story).
As I was thinking about this last night before I went to bed, I can't remember how many times I have redone my resume or CV as known in England.
I have the "teaching" resume, the "non-teaching or sales" resume, I have the English teaching resume (they do their stuff different over here) and I have the non-teaching English resume.
I have 3 different cover letters and I have resumes from about 8 different people to copy their style or "borrow" some of their ideas for my resume. The commissary is close in my sights. Not that I want to go back there, I hated it last time. I'm trying to be optomistic about the whole thing.
It is a trade off. I get to live in another country and see the world, but I don't get to have a career.
What do you do?
What would you do?

Is it absolutely necessary that you work? If not start your own business, you do so many crafty things I am sure you can get one of then turned into a business. I don't know what it is like over there but couldn't you find a part time job at a craft store or pottery shop or something like that?
