More good news

Not from me! Bec has a job!

Has all been a bit hectic really. About two weeks ago Bec had no interviews despite sending off several letters of application across Herts County. However, round about 5th May one school, in Hitchin, asked her to come for an interview next Friday (12th). Which was good!
This posed a bit of a dilemna. Whilst the Hitchin school was a very good school, it is about half an hour's drive away, which while not the end of the world is a bit tedious. However, Bec had visited two others schools a lot nearer (one in Kimpton, one in Harpenden) and really liked them, and had got hinted at that she would be asked for interviews.
However, the Hitchin one was first, and so if they offered her the job, what to do? Accept because hey its a job or gamble that the Kimpton or Harpenden school would do likewise...
This state of flux existed until pretty much the day before the Hitchin interview. A few prayer requests went off. Then a few things happened.
The Kimpton school indeed offered an interview, but to a Key Stage 2 position, and Bec really wanted KS1 (younger). Which made choosing Hitchin over Kimpton easier. Then, on thursday evening (the day before the Hitchin interview), out of the blue the Head of the Harpenden school rang Bec's mobile. She told her that a) there was a letter in the post offering an interview next Wednesday, and b) enquired if she had any interviews before then. When informed well yes tomorrow, the Harpenden head said something along the lines of that while she couldn't offer the job over the phone they were very very keen to interview her and how would she like to come to them tomorrow morning instead!
I might add that the Harpenden Head said that she had never quite done anything quite like this before and felt quite guilty for 'gazumping' Hitchin! Also, when Bec visited the school, the Head showed her round and in the process effectively interviewed her for an hour.

So Friday morning Bec goes to St Dominics, is interviewed by the Head and a Governing body representative, and is offered the job!

So there we have it. Quite a week. I pass my driving course, and Bec goes from no job, to worrying about which to accept, to having one.

Which of course is a great weight off her shoulders (and to a lesser extent mine!) knowing that bit of the future is sorted, and so she can concentrate on the last bit of the course, and some small event happening at the end of July....
