At last an interview but just seen the job ad has extended deadline

[sweetfig]

I've been really struggling to get an interview in teaching. I only qualified 3 years ago and had to take a break due to dd's mental health. I would not ever change that decision but I do feel it has jeopardised my chances of securing a permanent job again in teaching. So, I applied for yet again another position, finally got offered an iv tomorrow. So went on the said schools website to research the school, only to find they've extended the deadline for the job I applied for til 5th June!!!
Does that mean I'm going to have to wait over a week for a decision?? Was I the only one to apply?

That's odd, maybe they just want to fill the days slots up

Maybe they now have two roles? Late resignation?

Could be a computer glitch - in that it stopped accepting applications and they've noticed?

Could be the holidays coming up?

Have you been on supply? It gets your face known and lets you see if you like the school

Thank you all for your replies! I'm still not sure about what is happening at the school but I've been offered a years fixed term. Am happy but gutted it's not permanent.

Congratulations Have a fab bank holiday weekend [wine}

Congratulations on your job - you never know, it may become permanent in the end

As for the extended deadline, I wouldn't worry - at our school, we had to do this with a job due to someone else getting a new job and resigning just as the first ad was about to close.
