I. Hate. Applying. For. Jobs.
I think that the application process for teachers is distinctly designed to discourage people from applying. I have six different applications for six different districts/organizations. Only one uses the EdJoin application, and that's the one I was hoping not to intern in (Oakland - I just want to intern at a mostly functioning school. I can tilt at windmills after I get the skills to be an effective teacher.) Three of the remaining are their own online entities (I HATE filling in online forms - even when it's just cut and paste). The others are print only applications, of which I need to call about turning in certain forms as an intern, or not turning them in, as the case may be.
*Sigh* I want a magic wand of application-filling. I want one of "letter of interest" writing, too.
The only thing motivating me right now is the fact that most schools start on Monday and my basic needs cannot be met with just my financial aid.
