Anyone else get frustrated when principals say they'll contact you after an interview and then...nothing? I had one last week where they specifically said after they'd be in touch. Why even say that if they can't send a quick 'no thanks'? We put so much effort into these applications and interviews. It just feels rude and dismissive when they don't follow through, like our time doesn't matter. Anyone else feel this way?

Same here. Had great interviews, good vibes, and then… ghosted. If they’ve already chosen someone else, that’s fine, just let us know. We’re professionals too.

Yes. I agree with you!

I know it's frustrating but they don't want to waste their precious time.. andvthry don't need to talk to you because thty fontvget anything from it. I'm waiting on a college right now.. who knows 🤷‍♀️

Make sure you are writing a thank you letter after the interview. I have heard that if it is a close call between two applicants the one that sent a thank you letter for the interview was usually chosen.

A number of years ago I interviewed with a school in Beaverton and was determined to get that position, I shook their hands, wrote a thank you card, checked in a week later to be told, again, that they would call me with the result. I never heard back. A few months later I subbed at the very school and was told that this principal hated confrontation and so ghosted everybody and left discipline to the other admin staff.

Yep😐

Last year I sat on an interview panel that admittedly took months to fill. We had three “good” candidates but none were “great.” Candidate #1 interviewed within two weeks but it was almost a month after posting when the schedules aligned for interviewing candidate #5. We submitted the best name and higher admin shot it down, leaving the position open. Again, that took almost 6 weeks from the day it posted before we could let folks know they weren’t hired. I’ve been there. I get it. But seeing the other side was eye-opening. Hang in there!

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

People who are cleanliness/organization freaks and have SOs who are not as clean/organized, how do you deal with it? Just learn to live with it?

SO moved in, however they aren’t as organized (an example is closet, my clothes are neatly folded and kept while theirs are mostly a pile of rolled up clothes). It does upset me and for some reason comes across as lazy which it may or may not be. We have had one minor chat and they saw it as ‘house rules’ and were worried there may be too many rules.
