It’s been a while since a text post so here goes.
I miss school so damn much. I taught once a week and never got to see anyone. They still haven’t gotten back to me about whether or not I’m teaching next semester so I don’t know what’s going on.
The job that had turned me down but left me a glimmer of hope last month wrote to me saying that they weren’t going to be hiring until the new year, so that glimmer of hope is still, well, glimmering.
I’ve applied to a handful of retail gigs to no avail. Everyone tells me to leave off my master’s degree from applications…but how would that explain the past three years of my employment history? “We see you worked for Montclair State University for a while, but you got your degree in 2008? What did you do in between then and now?”
Apparently, got a degree that doesn’t mean shit if you don’t have experience.
