Principals- for your own good, don’t ghost the applicants
I just thought I’d share some friendly advice from one lowly teacher who will never be an admin (by choice). Education is a small world. You almost always know somebody who knows somebody. Lately, my teacher friends and I have noticed that we go on interviews and are clearly told things like, “We will notify you in one week,” only to be completely ghosted by principals. You may think of us as nameless, faceless applicants that you cannot be bothered to remember, but know that we remember you. And later, when you interview for a position at my school, or a school nearby, and my superintendent (who I have known for years) mentions it to me, I will be sure to stress your poor communication skills and lack of follow up and you just might not get the job. Karma is real.
