It’s been so hard finding employment, I have been looking since November. The job market here in Canada isn’t the greatest.

Interviews but no offers,

Remote jobs as well doesn’t have greatest selection.

It’s tough out here

I’m so sorry, and it really is tough right now. My cousin’s been job hunting in Ontario and says it feels like a full-time job just keeping hopeful. One thing that helped her was reaching out to hiring managers directly after interviews. Have you been getting feedback at all?

No feed back at all. I get ghosted after asking unfortunately

This has been my experience as well. I've been looking for around 5 months and have been having an impossible time getting traction. I'm still employed, so I guess it could be worse, but I'm so ready to move on and don't know why I'm struggling so much. It's never taken me this long to get a job.

Hi SpEd Teachers, is anyone else facing EXTREME staff shortages as a result of state funding? We are not able to meet my students' IEP requirements (not even close) due to not enough paraprofessionals and the district flat out refusing to hire more. I've lost 70+ hrs/week of para hours over the past few years and my students are really suffering. This leaves our district open to lawsuits, but the real problem is the state's education budget. What can we do?? This isn't going to fix itself.

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
