So, I contacted the new principals the exact day they were announced- a year and a half before the library job was posted. I continued to keep in touch and shared things I was doing. 5th and 6th grade are hands down my favorite grades! This year has been particularly rough with 7th and 8th graders. This position is a very highly sought after position! I wasn't sure I had a shot. When we got back from the cruise, I had an email inviting me to come interview. I was thrilled!! And nervous!
One of our Instructional coaches came in and as I was telling her what I was going to talk aabout in the interview- she said No! Do these instead. As I went to sleep I was so worried. I woke up in the middle of the night with tons of questions running through my head. I gave up trying to sleep and just went through answering them in my head. The next morning, at the interview, I was asked almost the exact questions that went through my head that night. I was prepared with great answers. The interview went great and I was offered the position in less than 24 hours!
I also see Heavenly Fathers hand from many years ago preparing me. Not many librarians get to start their own library. I am so excited! Overwhelmed and excited!
