good choice

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle hey alright…hope it went well!

[Mizmazzle]

Well, I’d say it went really well!! They had a panel of students interview me today. I thought that was quite cool.

The challenge, is that I feel like they will probably offer me the job. I’m not 100% it’s the spot for me. I’ve been hoping on one particular school to call me about a 6th grade science position at a great school really close to my house.

I’m playing out so many scenarios in my head and I’m really not sure what I’m going to do at this point.

[ARNC]

@Mizmazzle do you know how many candidates are in the running for the first position? Might give you enough time to get some clarity about the second one? Anyway, sounds promising.

[Mizmazzle]

@ARNC seems like a lot of candidates this year.

[ARNC]

@Mizmazzle no way of knowing how you compare to the others but I bet you’re the best dressed!

@goosehd thats the truth

[Mizmazzle]

The school called me this evening about an hour after I left the interview to offer me the job…

I was incredibly humbled they chose me. However, after two interviews it’s didn’t feel like the right fit…I declined the offer. And so the game continues.

Great, what an encouragement. And even greater that you listen to your feelings and declined. This is the best way to find the place where you actually belong to.

@Mizmazzle congratulations on being offered the job, and even bigger congratulations on deciding to turn it down. Life’s too short to work at something that isn’t right for you. You’ll know when the right opportunity comes along.

@endo @IrishHeart

Those affirmations mean a lot to me. I was really struggling letting this opportunity go by. Wasn’t really sure where to place the source of my anxiety. I’ve been at the same school now for ten years. I have deep roots there. Leaving is going to be really hard. And while I’m ready for a change, this new position gave me very little excitement and overwhelming anxiety. Thanks to advice from my wife and my current principal that is right in line with what y’all are saying, I let the offer go…I Woke up this morning feeling completely confident I did what was best for my own happiness. Life is too short. I’m looking for something that adds to my happiness…that new place just wasn’t it.

@Mizmazzle Congratulations on so many levels!! There's a lot of maturity and wisdom in all of the decisions you've made and I am positive everything will work out in your favour for future opportunities.

[Mizmazzle]

Thanks Dennis. I felt like I was breaking up with a girlfriend when I returned that phone call to the Assistant Principal.
She was super enthusiastic: “Hey!! So, we’d love you to the join the team!!”
Me, feigned enthusiasm: “Oh wow! That’s…insane! Haha. Um, I just don’t think this is going to work out.”
Dead air…..

[Mizmazzle]

Well, the head of the school just reached out to me about 20 minutes ago…can’t help but feeling incredibly humbled…
