Today was the Guam Department of Education Job Fair at one of the local middle schools. I went early to avoid the lines. That strategy was only partially successful.

I arrived at 8:45 for the 10:00 start. Some of my classmates were already there. About 10:15 they sent us back to the cafeteria where we got our referral forms. We then had to go to the rooms where the school officials were waiting for us. We'd sign up for a school and take a seat to wait.

Now, you know I'm not a little guy so you might understand how much fun it was to wait for 2 hours while sitting in grade school children's chairs. These things barely came up to my knee and my butt overlapped the seat to a large degree! Not comfortable.

But I interviewed for jobs in two schools. We have to wait for a call to know if we got a job out of this. My prediction is that there will be a flurry of calls about three days before the beginning of the school year.

I now have applications in three schools. Last week I interviewed at St. John's, the preeminent academic school on the island. I hope something comes through.
