This stat is depressing... do you think it's realistic? I do, and I'm having serious doubts about the job market ever bouncing back.

I just got a great job after I sent 200 resumes out

Oh my goodness! Well congratulations!

I think 0.4% is about right or high, honestly

You can pull up any job posting and see 200+ people already submitted an application, so I’d say 0.4% sounds about right

That is also assuming the job is even real to begin with.

About to finish my first year. I’m a specialist. Only going to hit 65% of my hours (took a 4 week vacation cause of wedding/hm).

I never say no to work and i have fantastic reviews, and the head of my practice (with whom I work a lot for) has great things to say about me.

I’ve been fully utilized starting ~June, but first few months were slow. Am i fine?!

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10. I have no aide and most of my classes are around 14 kids. Some with behavior plans that are only out of our behavior room setting for my class... Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.
