A Sea Of Red

Hello folks I know I've been dormant around here lately but I want to ask for all of you that want to lift myself and my wife in prayer. She just accepted a job at Georgetown University and we are moving to the NOVA area at the end of July. I however have not found a job or heard back from any applications/resumes I have sent out. Please pray that I will hear something soon or that the right opportunity will find its way to me! Thank you guys!

Sounds like a great move. What field of work are you in?

Criminal Justice is my degree and I've worked campus security for almost 4 years now. Trying to find something in that realm somewhere in the area. Luckily we have enough savings togget by for a while until I can find something but the sooner the better!

As for a former NOVA'er, don't drink the water.

Yeah it's definitely a big culture shock just going up there to handle business! It'll be ok, haven't heard back from any applications yet I'll take almost anything right now just to bring something in. I do have an interview for a substitute teaching position so that is something! Staying positive!

Nobody hiring muni Leo down there? Or not your speed?

Subbing is very hit or miss if you get offered that job. Some assignments you get a real great group, and some, you're kicking kids out left and right

Yeah I'm nervous about it never subbed before. I have taught training courses at work but never with kids, I'm sure I'd be in for a rude awakening! I have about 20 applications floating in the air right now hope I hear back this week, still praying!

I know I'm slow but I don't get the reference haha

One word of advice: try to find fun ways to learn who the kids are in each class...oh and read over the names before the day starts too. I impressed a lot of my classes by pronouncing names correctly (and asking for help otherwise). One thing that rankles kids is when subs mispronounce names

usajobs.gov

Or since we're expanding fraud units: ssa.gov/careers, and then click on search and apply.

Also: jobs.virginia.gov
