I'm feeling so burnt out from job hunting. It feels like I'm constantly applying, but never hear anything back. And even if I did get an interview, I don't know if I'd have the energy to even go at this point. I'm trying to start a side hustle as a writer, but honestly, I feel completely stuck. Anyone else relate?

I’m retiring after this year. I hit rule of 85 and just can’t do this job anymore. I, too, plan to focus on writing. I’ve got three books self-published and two more nearly ready. The thing about writing is that you have control, which is slowly being destroyed in teaching. What do you write? Mine are contemporary romance. Would love to chat about where you are in your writing journey!

It really is. I get together with ppl in my department for lunch and get all the dirt.
I know 3 ppl who are retiring early, at the end of the yr. Mgt changed and it’s made everything so much harder.

Writing sounds like a wonderful thing to get into! I can understand being burnt out, feels like this job is just getting harder and harder and I really don’t know if going to another district would be the answer now. New year is almost here and I am wishing you the best!

If you're looking to get out of teaching, just do some brainstorming about your transferable skills and broaden your job search. There are probably plenty of jobs you could do if you locate them. The job market now is not great, so it can take a while, but if you're employed now at least you've got the time to be looking.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
