I have just been offered a choice of 25 guaranteed interviews for teaching positions next week.

[Nimbostratus100]

Because I am likely to resign my teaching job this June, and "word has got out". I am inundated with offers. I have just received an email from one recruiter listing 25 jobs they can guarantee me an interview for next week.

I don't have much faith in the honesty of agencies in general, but a quick google confirms the ones I have checked are genuine vacancies, and genuinely interviewing next week.

Out of the 25, if I were job hunting ( which I am not, if I stay in teaching I will stay where I am) then 20 would interest me. The other 5 or either jobs I am not qualified for, or jobs with a tricky journey.

I have other emails from other agencies, and some from schools directly.

This is the worst it has ever been. I have been subject to such aggressive recruitment before, but in previous years, only say half a dozen jobs at a time, never more than 10, at the most.

I HAVE career changed and am currently in between contracts for new career. I am inundated with calls and emails offering me teaching positions. It's really sad that it's come to this, but I'm never going back.

@Ifnottodaywhen unfortunately the teachers that claim they could walk into another job, rarely wish to foxtrot Oscar from their current one as they are performing inadequately and rarely get challenged. Now we in our school have a Head that is capable of challenging such utter crap performance, they suddenly start getting interested in leaving. The challenge is the following. Give an honest reference that means they most likely won't be appointed (but no one ever does in education) or lie and continue them around the inadequate teacher list. I have directed my head to give honest references and if we are stuck with them, so be it but they know if they are shit, which plenty have been they are not just jumping. They face capability procedures....of which several have been through.

Omg. Education is just so out of date and 1970s
