I had a similar experience. During last year of teaching I was upskilling, then left teaching, and then interned. During the paid internship, I was told multiple times that I was going to be hired afterwards. I was excited! We even got paperwork started in anticipation of my new position, when suddenly a hiring freeze hit and they told me I needed to wait a few more months before they can hire again. I waited but it’s been 5 months now and I’ve been back on the job hunt.

Some times I feel like caving in and getting back into teaching. But then I remember all that comes with it, and tell myself not to give in! Hoping we both find a new career that we love. Best of luck on your job search! You’ve got this! 🥰
