Job Search Day #01 (Officially)

Hey there,

With a goal to be back in ON, Canada-I am struggling to find how this will be a smooth transition from my current overseas teaching job to an interview with any board in ON. The reality is, I'll be hard pressed to score anything until I actually physically get back into Canada. With most boards conducting face to face interviews in Canada/specifically at their board office-I find myself helpless until I land back in Canada.

I did some research, I also reached out for a couple Q and A's with friends in the boards to inquire on the potentiality that the board would conduct an online interview. No, is simply what I have come to understand. This is super problematic and now I find myself, stuck, pondering and working with files and files of applications. part of me wishes there was a set of timelines provided for applicants to know when appropriate times to apply for these OT jobs are and what the time frames of interviews are so that those of us overseas, had an equal opportunity upon return.

Nevertheless, applytoeducation.com is rendered useless to me until at least May. Now I find myself looking to the private schools in hopes that they are taking external applications. With some of the private schools being international, I know for a fact that they are more willing to conduct online interviews (which is very important to me).

Go private for a year? Again, when I have been striving to get out of the private sector? Ugh.

Next step is looking to Alberta. But first here is the list of Private schools I am applying to.
