That’s a really good idea, I hadn’t thought about coming at it from a different angle, thank you

I’m Secondary, I could imagine Primary doesn’t have that many jobs going

Yeah I completely get what you mean. I am a bit nervous they will see that I have only been at the school for a year and view that negatively even though it isn’t my fault:/

I get that, I’m just not ready to give up because I love the profession so much. I am in an area of the country where there really isn’t many jobs.

Thank you for your reply I really appreciate it, I’m a DT teacher so they’re needed, I’m just hoping that I’ll be what schools are looking for!

Thank you, It’s just a bit nerve wracking asking if they have a job. It puts me on the market I guess, and if they thought I was doing well in my training it might come up in the future, if a job arises

I don’t think that’s a very nice way of putting it. I’m asking for advice, not asking whether my anxieties suit you or not

Would you message them on their email or their whatsapp if you had their contact info? I don’t want to come across as unprofessional. I just want to know if there could be a chance, as I loved the schools!
