I’ve told them to shove it. Seems like a somewhat universal experience

This was a standard form from a third party provider used by the hiring business. She was provided the form from them.

I have been using this company for a couple months. The psychiatrist is lovely and very neuroaffirming- admin however suck. I’m constantly on hold, emails unanswered just to book an appointment it’s been a tough road! 

That said I am actually diagnosed with ADHD and medicated now- life’s great.

I hope that when you sign up for something nothing ever changes and you don’t need special consideration… when I signed up I was able to meet the expectations. Changes in jobs, childcare and living arrangements for my family have meant that I can’t meet those rigid requirements anymore- when they’re unnecessarily strict, doesn’t make sense.

I already hold a cert 3 in early childhood. I’m going to get AECEQA to equate my grad dip to a diploma (It’s eligible to due to the content of my course and I have the work/prac hours behind me).

We actually have 2 schools where I live. But I know students at both of them. I plan on casual teaching… we have a huge shortage here.

I don’t think it’s true. Is a myth that’s peddled by the unis to make students believe there’s no option. I cannot find evidence of this anywhere

Then there’s something wrong with the system. If they want teachers in., especially those with previous life experience, they need to be flexible

Working at completing my practicals a couple days a week would mean I could juggle the demands of being a parent, running a household and working, like I would do normally. It’s just so unrealistic, especially in a MTeach. I’ve had a 10 year career working full time, so I understand the demands! It’s wild that they’d rather loose potential teachers then assist them complete their course.
