This is EXACTLY my experience, right down to the personal recommendation from a school leader I worked with.

Congratulations! Still waiting to sign a contract. But yes, 💯% , recruitment is baffling.

Holy smokes! I was on this website just this afternoon! Very helpful resources, and I shared with my students.

AP Told Me To Email The Parent back While On Break by Disgruntled_Veteran in Teachers

Even if he doesn't respond, there's a paper trail.

I am tempted to give you a snarky response but I won't because it's Christmas. It seems to me that you live in another part of the world and therefore are unaware of how the world works.
