Job Fair

Today I attended a job fair, which is a professional reason not to be student teaching. The break was definitely nice and needed, as I started coming down with a stuffy nose yesterday. Last evening I spent about 5 hours updating and reformatting my resume. When I finished my revisions I was most surprised by the amount of experiences I have had in teaching. I expanded my resume for the first time to two pages just to fit about the wonderful things I have done in the last three years. It looks fantastic! I interviewed with several schools today. Several of them stated that they liked some sort of visual detail about the resume. One of them stated right away that he wanted the principal to look at it and then wrote the guys name on top. While this particular job does not appeal to me 100%, it is only 45 minutes away and in my field. With this economy, something is better than nothing. Since I don't want to relocate this may be the direction I go. But we will see at a later date.
