If you can, maybe a change of venue. I’m not sure I know how to get a job. I do go into schools personally to drop off my information after I apply. However, when I was desperate to get a job, that anxious energy interfered with my ability to interview well and I bombed those interviews. When I let it go; telling myself I can do anything else, that nervous energy was gone and I got the job.

I struggled after college and during the recession. Try getting some resume and interview help with a trusted friend or local library. Any profession can help you brush up those skills and catch things you’re missing. Also, have a trusted person help you go over your online application. Those are screened for certain buzz words, and you might not be including them. Finally, there’s a trick where you update or make small changes to your online app. Any tiny update, even retyping your name, puts yours back at the top of the app list. I had to search for five years after the recession, and my neighbor had to long-term sub for five years before she landed a full-time job. You’re not alone. Best of luck!

Might be time to relocate. Many states face severe shortages. Call back an administrator you met with and ask for their assistance. Educators are people who like to help people. Tell them to be brutally honest. Go over your resume with a fine tooth comb and discuss the issues/how to improve the answers to your interview questions. Maybe you are too closely connected and without realizing it giving off the wrong impression.

In our district ageism and being too high on the salary scale are the top factors. Are you older and more expensive? If so, perhaps change gears. We let go of all the new older and experienced hires last year before they could get tenured. Such bullshit

They sometimes ask me for help with stuff, but I’m just getting annoyed at this point. Can I just say “no” since they’re about to be a mid/senior associate who should know all of this?
