That job
That one. It could be the perfect fit. The one that lets me teach, but in a different, non-traditional environment. It could let me be creative, but within a structure I seem to need. It would be teaching two things I am most passionate about. It would be working at a really cool place. It could allow me greater flexibility. It could be it. I have applied. I am highly qualified. I should at least get an interview. I hope.
I had decided earlier that this would be my last year at my school. It could be very hard to leave now, if this is the job, but its a timing thing. How do I know this job will come up again? In the two years I have been watching for jobs on this organization's website, I have seen one other job that would fit my skills and interests. I am making progress towards paring down what I need from my job. The question is, how to get the answers to those needs in an interview? How to ask just the right questions to find out if this is a good fit? Perhaps it won't come around this time. It might be another job, but bit by bit, I will hack away and come closer to something that is a truer fit to me.
