Hi all.
I'm a older than average primary NQT who graduated in October after retraining from another career.
I had a baby in January, so haven't yet worked beyond a couple of months supply before I got too pregnant to teach.
I must have applied for 30+ PT jobs with no luck yet, and I'm getting so disheartened. Without blowing my own trumpet too much, I'm good, my observations have always been good/outstanding, I work hard, and I've had my applications checked by a friend who is a secondary head of dept.
Am I deluding myself by thinking I'll get anything? I've been offered several FT positions (each of my placement schools have offered me positions), but there's just nothing PT and I've got 2 under 2.
Should I give up for now and just do supply? Does anyone near Birmingham want to job share? I'm nice, I promise!
Any advice would be very welcome.
