Thinking about giving up
I'm highly qualified, just moved to NYC from another state and have been trying to get my licensed transferred for ~9 months (feels like it'll never happen at this point), and I accepted a job offer at the beginning of August which got rescinded. So for the last two weeks, when I could have been job hunting, I was out having a grand old time in the city. Some schools have reached out but they seem really desperate and not like a good fit. And the list of vacancies is pretty dry. I've gone to job fairs and emailed, called, and/or physically visited dozens of schools. Pretty much everywhere I get stonewalled: "Just email your resume," "There's nobody here who can talk to you," etc. At one of the job fairs, there were at least a dozen other candidates in my certification area (ELA 7-12). And we're all competing against each other for these few spots. It's bleak.
I understand having a positive attitude and that I never know what's gonna happen, but I've jumped through so many bureaucratic hoops at this point that I don't really have any energy left. I'm angry at everyone I talk to. How's everyone else's search going
