   Job Fair

I'm exhausted. Exhausted. Stayed up all night practicing for an interview that I had a slim chance of getting.

Went to a job fair, and my shoes didn't fit me, so I was quite uncomfortable walking on pebbles/cobblestone sidewalks to get there.

Then when I arrived, all the HR people didn't even seemed interested in me, kind of wanted to give away their things and make you move along.

I thought I had a good resume, too. Well, I've been told by some supervisors that it was good.

Basically, Human Resources from all the districts there were on the outlook for teachers that could teach secondary. And I'm interested in an elementary position.

Wish I could've presented myself better, like prepared a better speech when I met a representative.

Highlight of the job fair was when I met my 6th grade teacher who is now a representative for HR from the district I graduated. I regretted being so stunned and delighted to see her, I didn't spend any time really selling myself.

Relieved to return home. Tired. Finally, FINALLY, it's been weeks since I could just go home, make a mess, eat junk, surf the net, and watch tv without worrying about lesson plans and fairs. Until Sunday.

Next week I have to drive all the way down to my hometown to attend a local job fair. Hopefully I could impress a few principals. Though, judging from the needs they've listed on their webpages, they don't really need anybody, but it's worth a try.

Tired. Hopeful.
