It appears that I'm at a crossroads in my professional life. Today I just received the official word that I'm being let go as of the end of the week. The reason for this is out of my control but due to a technology restructure and economical downturn.
This news did not come as a surprise to me but it still unsettling none the less. While I haven't talked about it much to the "online" world some of my closest members of my PLN are aware of this and have truly been wonderful, and I thank them for that.
I feel like that w/ my experience, resume, and portfolio that I should be able to find another job if there is one, and that's a big IF. Now is not the time anyone wants to be unemployed and I know there are millions of people out there in the same boat as I am.
Anyway, I'm hoping maybe a reader or somebody who comes across this post might have a projective lead for me. If anybody out there does know of any technology Integration/Specialist job, I'd be forever grateful.
Here is my digital portfolio which sums up what I do quite nicely... http://www.visualcv.com/gxrax29
As always thank you very much for your time and reading as this blog would nothing w/out the people who come here and contribute!!
My job was also cut but fortunately I have a classroom position for next year. It is distrubing to me that in a time when we need more Technology Integration Specialists, we are reducing the opportunities. I recently learned of this site. http://crste.org/ Look at the side and you will see employment. Good luck in your search!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear of the job loss. I'm a relatively new reader of your blog but I have learned a great deal and enjoyed it very much.
ReplyDeleteMy sincere best wishes for what comes next.
My district is losing our ITC and I think it's exactly what you're looking for. Check it out here:
