good luck!  I still can\'t believe about the age thing...

Good luck!  They would be lucky to have you Marissa.

Ok, I sent in my application...I know if they are truly as deeply Catholic as they are said to be, a couple of things there will stand out...still, the worse that can happen is that they won\'t hire me...

Now, I was thinking (because another friend now has been asking around and told me that the friend of a friend - small city!- works there, and that she gets 50% off the tuition for her second kid, but that has to pay full for the eldest...)...what would I do if they did offer me the same salary as here, but NOT offered Ale\'s tuition??...or offered only half, which is still astronomical -imo- as the FULL tuition is ~$4K/year, plus the admittance bonus which is almost $2K!!....
You know what? I\'d probably take it anyway! (I just wouldn\'t send my daughter there!)...I mean, the working hours would be infinitely better (say 7:30- 3 - let\'s say to 4) as opposed to 8-6...I\'d still be able to find a second job, say from 5-7 and would be able to spend more time with Ale...

Dreams are free, aren\'t they??

Let\'s see....felicidades?  Is that right??  

ok. since I wanted (needed ) the interview at 4 rather than 4:30, they moved it from Monday to Tuesday...no problem. We\'ll see how it goes!

I also sent out 2 more resumes today! - 1 for Berlitz and another one for another call center...still on the search for hourly jobs that pay more than $5.75/hour!

Oh, and I told my boss (director) about the job interview at the school and, he looked a bit scared and, when I mentioned the hours, he said: Ooooh, you could come and work with us part time after school, from 4 to 6 or 7...    ...If I\'m so indispensable (sp?), why aren\'t they paying me more??

I went to the interview yesterday...I feel it went ok...as stated before, maybe the things I had against me were: my divorce, the fact that DD\'s father is not involved in her life (it came up), the fact that I\'m not actively involved in the Catholic church (it came up, too, although, at least I mentioned Ale is going to weekly meetings!)...we\'ll see. I think the interviewer liked me (she kept looking at me while asking me the church things as if pleading: PLEASE say you\'re active!)...
The things that might weigh in my favor are: I have this wonderful (true!) teaching story about helping a child realize he wasn\'t \"stupid\" as everyone said he was, and about being able to stand for himself against a group of teasers after that! (it IS my proudest moment as a teacher!), also the fact that I\'m concerned about DD\'s education and want to spend more time with her...and the fact that, at least we are TRYING to be closer to the church...she said they\'d let me know in a couple of days whether I need to come in for tests and more interviews...it\'s really in God\'s hands now!

Wow -  

Good luck with it all!!
