Qualified as a Primary teacher in June with a First class degree, all placements passed with a 'good' grade and out of my university cohort 80% have managed to get their first teaching job, but not me. I have had 4 interviews, all said the lesson was great, that they could 'see me in their school' but I didn't have the experience.
There's no jobs out there right now to apply for.
I'm so unhappy, I really wanted to spend this summer with my kids, and planning, making resources, getting to know the school and the staff and reading up on policies, so I was ready, excited and raring to go but now I feel adrift, redundant and that I've wasted 3 years, I really thought I'd get a job straight away.
I've signed up with a supply agency for September, but I just feel so disappointed in myself. I've found p/t work through the holidays locally, so I will still receive housing benefit, but I want to stand on my own two feet and support myself and my amazing kids who are so proud of me. I don't want benefits, I just want a job.
I think I need a kick up the behind.
