Don't like interviews, can't be bothered with your resume, want to teach our impressionable youth?

I have been rang twice now in the last couple of weeks by the Education Department offering me jobs without needing an interview and based on a resume from 2001.

The first one was teaching Year 12 gifted Maths and IT students at a senior specialist maths/science high school! It’s probably the only job I would quit for, but they only gave me 2 weeks notice in which time I would have to resign and finish up my current position and prepare lessons for year 12’s who want 20’s in subjects I’ve never even looked at before. Plus it would mean a pay cut and most likely double the hours I do now.

The second was teaching at a school in walking distance from my house with a reasonable reputation. For this one I was asked to start tomorrow and again would mean quite a big pay cut and lots of hours.

Seriously, I mean it’s nice to know I’m employable and all, but what kind of system are they running, I wonder how teachers handle it all. Very frustrating when you actually want a job too, you never get time to prepare and always have to take pay cuts.

How can what I’m doing now pay more than teaching where I would have massive influence on like hundred kids uni entrance scores?? I look at my yr 12 scores and there is a direct relationship between each subject mark and the quality of my teacher for that subject. Seriously it makes such a difference in peoples lives but no-one seems to want to pay teachers an appropriate salary.

I’d still go back to teaching though, pretty rewarding job in most other ways and definitely not boring.
