Well I didn't get the job that I had applied for. The AP who was in charge of the hiring for it called me the other day and said, "We loved you. You had a great interview. You are a wonderful chorus teacher and have great ideas! I'd like to forward your resume on to the other middle school in this area that is hiring if you would like me to because I've recommended they hire you there."
Unfortunately I think the school I applied to went with a lady who is friends with the outgoing chorus teacher. The outgoing chorus teacher, when I first asked if they were still looking to fill the position, told me that it was already filled. Then I found out she lied and they were still doing interviews. But I think they went with that friend due to the outgoing chorus teacher's pushing. Guess I didn't have the right connection.
Which sucks, because the AP kept reiterating that I was a great teacher and he would have loved to have me blah blah blah...and they hired this "Friend" of the outgoing teach instead who is a band/orchestra teacher...not a chorus teacher...all because of a connection.
I told the AP, "Thank you very much BUT if I didn't get this job I wanted to stay at my current school." So that is is that. I will remain at my school for now :)
