The curse has been broken!
Finally, something is starting to go right for me!
The interview that I had on Wednesday was pretty much just a formality. I got there about 20 minutes early (I am my mother's daughter, after all!) and did paperwork - just things like those stupid income tax forms you have to sign and direct deposit forms and stuff like that. Then I went in for my interview. All they said was, "Describe yourself" and "Tell me a bit about your teaching experiences." They politely flipped through my portfolio and then said, "You're approved!" I guess they have several hundred people on the sub list though... so I guess I'll be subbing in middle-years classrooms too, just so I can get work.
Another nice thing is that since the school divisions are amalgamating after Christmas, I only had to do one of these screening interviews. Coincidentally, the other division, Sask Valley, that I applied in for subbing is amalgamating with this one, Stoon East,, so the only thing I had to do with this other one is their own paperwork that deals with stuff before Christmas. They have to do their own screening in collaboration with Stoon East but that won't be until the end of September. Soooooo I won't be getting any calls from them until October.
Which brings me to my new dilemma... I'm wondering if I should get an evenings/weekends job for at least September, just in case I don't get much subbing. I'm thinking maybe Sobey's or Walmart *shudder*... Walmart especially goes through employees like crazy, plus I've worked there before, so I think that would help. I guess I'll see... I just know that I'll be a little bored within a few weeks of moving because there won't be a lot for me to do. I guess we'll see!

Yay! Congrats!! I knew everything would be great. As for a job, I wouldn't worry about it. You'll be too busy keeping me company ;-)
Now that they've met you, I know that they want to put you at the top of thier sub list. Maybe we can hack into their computer system and change all the phone numbers of the other subs. We should get Dale, Johnny, Evan and Arielle on that.
