From what I understand, getting a job within a public school district is ridiculous and competitive. All the jobs come out around the same time (April or May) and none of the interviews really happen until the summer unless you are applying for a really specific or specialized position. Kevin has been listening to my building woes about interviewing without any real idea of how I'm doing or whether or not there is a purpose to these "pre-screening" interviews on campus. Today he told me he felt like vying for a teaching job was basically
the Hunger Games.
I was born into
a broken family an educational system that does not have any money.
I volunteered to head into "the game"
to save my younger sister's life to earn the income to buy back my younger sister's used car.
I become a
tribute for the 2012-2013
Hunger Games school year.
People tell me what to say, how to act, what to wear
, and how to
fake a relationship with Peeta Melark write resumes and cover letters.
I desperately want to head to
District 13 the Seattle District, but it is a graveyard (for new teacher positions).
All at once, I and my competition are brought to the arena.
At the
sound of the horn completion of the budget, the games begin.
Utter chaos.
There is only one stack of resources and everyone heads towards them at the same time.
Few survive.
Then I hopefully
kill everyone receive a job offer and win
the games the right to a one-year contract that will likely expire.
Then basically the same thing happens for two more
books years until I reach my
melancholy ending continuing contract.
Behold, the illustrated version:
