EDZAPP SEASON

It's the time of year when we spend part of each day looking for new job postings on Edzapp.  Here's where things are at.

* Tim started the administrative licensing program late, but the university is trying doing their best to get him licensed before summer is over.

* Posts for teaching jobs kick into high gear next month and don't taper off until the fall.

* Admin jobs are getting posted now. 

* He's willing to take either kind of job.

* Some schools will fill an administrative position with someone who doesn't quite have their license yet, but is eligible to get it soon.  Others won't.

* I spend part of my time looking for admin jobs and the other part not considering those jobs to be realistic options until Tim actually has a license in his hands. 

* The school he's doing his full-time practicum at will have some administrative openings next year, positions he's currently shadowing for his practicum. 

* The school is on the other end of the metro area and 45 minutes away in good traffic.

* He really likes the school his practicum is at.

If I ruled the world, then Tim would meet all the requirements for his administrative license and have it in his hand by the end of summer, get hired for a teaching or administrative job that is a good fit for his skills and interests, be at a school that is close enough to home that we can visit occasionally and that will allow him to spend time with the kids on weeknights, and that he would have a job lined up sooner than later. 

Time will tell.

Meanwhile, if you're looking for me, then I can probably be found on Edzapp.
