I’d like to thank you for your excellent service. After 10 months of unemployment I have been offered a full time position with [XXXX] Board of Education and next week I will be interviewed with [XXXX] Board of Education. I have been surprised with the small number of applicants for each position.

My interviews were in Japanese and it would be difficult to get a position with any of these BOEs unless you have at least an intermediate level of Japanese.

Thank you so much.

Hello, and sorry I have taken so long to introduce myself. I have really enjoyed being a member of your list.

I am currently living in [XXXXX], teaching JHS and ES for Interac. I am currently looking for direct hire positions in either [XXXXX] (where I lived before) or in [XXXXX].

I like my job, but, like everyone else, would love to make more money and get a direct hire position.

I will attend a job interview for the position in [XXXXX] City, since it is nearby. The BOE told me that there is only one position available in the whole city for next year. I think that shows how popular direct hire positions are, and how people don`t leave them easily.

Anyway, thank you for what you are doing. You are helping a lot of long term teachers here. It would be an ideal situation if all positions were direct hire. Until then, the best we can do is share information. If I hear any news about direct hires in this area, I will be sure to let you know.
