I've applied for a few jobs for September.
I have an interview at one school next week, they contacted me to ask me to apply as I had done some supply there and they liked me.
Some adverts are clearly aimed at NQTs so I give them a wide berth.
I am UPS3.
I was discussing my job applications with a former colleague who said 'you're too expensive, you'll get to an interview, there will be a couple of NQTs and they will just employ them instead. You'd be better off waiting until October half term to apply because the schools advertising then will be desperate, you probably won't be up against NQTs and you'll stand a greater chance of getting a job'.
This has knocked my confidence a bit, I'm an outstanding teaching, well qualified and with good references.
Is my former colleague right?
Should I just sit tight where I am? even though I don't like it
Or should I just keep applying, even though writing each application takes ages?
All honest opinions welcome please.
