I'm a Reject

Ach. So, Andrew has been pursuing applications to teach internationally next year. One organization (which shall not be named), received his resume and called right back - they'd had it for like maybe 15 minutes. So, we got all excited. Maybe this could really happen? They wanted some information about me so I wrote up a little cover letter about my experience that might be applicable to a school setting, attached my resume and sent it off. The next night, I get this phone call from the organization. They got my "impressive" resume and could Andrew please get them home phone numbers for all his references.

Well. The next day Andrew gets this blunt email. Essentially I am a reject. They are only pursuing teaching couples at this time. DON'T bother to come to the job fair in January. IF they still have positions available, MAYBE they'll be back in touch. In other words, don't call us.

It's a little humbling (or is it humiliating), I have to say, to have this dream of living and working overseas AND to be the fly in the soup.
