They just told you they went with someone with more experience.
You’ve spent hours practicing answers to dozens of interview questions.
Overthinking every answer and every line in your application.
Did I drag on too long?
Did I share too much?
Did I say the right thing?
You’ve been going over every possible way to explain your complicated teaching history. Or lack thereof.
Balancing the line between being truthful and not speaking badly about your previous experience.
Meanwhile, your head is full of thoughts like:
They aren’t going to hire me.
I’m too young.
I’m too old.
Too much experience.
Too little experience.
After hours of tweaking, rehearsing, and perfecting, you walk away with… something that sounds nothing like you?
Just for them to tell you they went a different direction.
Or worse… nothing at all.
Somewhere along the way, you were so busy trying to sound like the perfect teacher, you forgot who you are.
You start to take the rejections as a sign.
Maybe I’m not cut out for this.
Maybe I’m not meant to teach.
There are so many other teachers out there that are better than me.
Don't worry... me too.
As a 21-year-old who just graduated with her Master’s Degree, I thought no one would take me seriously.
I was too young.
Too inexperienced.
Surely they are going to hire someone with more experience than me.
After being told that I would have to apply to dozens of districts before getting an interview, let alone being hired, I decided to do something different.
I decided to bet on me.
So I did something bold...
First, I did something crazy.
I stopped chasing the perfect teacher identity and became more of myself.
But that’s not all.
I took the biggest reason districts wouldn’t hire me and made it the reason they would.
Finally, I stopped mass applying to play the numbers game.
And it worked.
I applied to 3 really aligned, competitive districts.
Two called me back for an interview.
Both offered me the position DURING my interviews.
I had done it.
I shifted from the desperate teacher trying to get hired to the teacher candidate districts couldn’t ignore.
But I’m not the only one.
3 years later, a first-year teacher named Bre messaged me asking for help.
The school year had already started, and she was running out of time.
After countless interviews and applications, she started to lose faith that teaching was her calling.
2 weeks of working together later, she had an interview with a district that felt like getting coffee with a future best friend.
Later that week, she was hired by her dream district.
And she’s not the only one. Since then, I have coached dozens of teachers to get hired by their dream district.
Because here’s the truth: you aren’t getting hired because you aren’t good at interviewing.
You’re not getting hired because you are so busy trying to be somebody else.
Chasing instead of knowing.
Mass applying instead of aligning.
I’m on a mission to keep good teachers in the classroom.
I want good teachers as coworkers, and as teachers for my kids.
Throughout my career, I’ve seen really good teachers leave the profession thinking it was them.
Their lack of classroom management.
Their lack of skill.
Lack of willpower.
But it’s not them. It’s their environment.
I want to keep good teachers in the profession.
That starts with getting them into good schools.
