Confused friend

Yes. She was too hasty. Sometimes we fail to think of the bigger picture when we are too excited. I was like that when i was very young but i learned from experience. My uncle told me never to jump into anything without knowing even the minute details and never to decide on something without having to be certain about things. However, you cannot tell your friend she has made a wrong decision because she is still in a very sensitive state. It wouldn't help her at the moment to point out her mistakes. Do substitute teachers get paid? Because as far as i know, they don't get paid unless the teacher to whom she is substituting would give out her salary. A cousin of my sister-in-law was asked by DepEd to be a substitute teacher years ago and she was paid only half of the salary of the teacher she was substituting.

To me, yes. She should have fixed her requirements prior to resigning from her job. Isn't it that it is better to be sure than sorry? As for your friend, is it not possible for her to get a second opinion? Maybe she could try that out just so she can get the job. We all know how bad the economy is in our country and being unemployed is really a serious matter. Wish you and your friend good luck! Happy myLotting!

i think there is no harm in sending application to the same university where she used to teach. if she performed well in that university, then it will have more reason to accept her again. with her teaching experience, she has an edge over other applicants. just send as many applications to universities. one of these days, she will receive a call.

Hello there Daisy. Oh, I feel sorry about you friend. What happened to her? Why wasn't she qualified to teach in that school anymore? I suppose maybe it's because of her health condition. I just hope your friend is just okay and she could look for another job as soon as possible so she wouldn't really feel so bad. I think she was a bit wrong in resigning in her job immediately. Though, we couldn't blame her because she was just willing to take that great opportunity that was awaiting for her. That is, rendering her service to a public school. Maybe, that was what she really intended to do. When she went to University, maybe she really got the course Education so she really wanted to grab that opportunity she had. Maybe, what happened to her was just okay. I think it was just good when she found out earlier that she wasn't qualified in teaching in that school anymore so she could already move on and she wouldn't just continue expecting something. For now, she should just focus in looking for some other jobs. When she would already have another job, she should just do her best there and be contented. I think what happened to her was really hard to accept but she should do her best so she could really do it. I think it's not yet the end of the world. There are still a lot of jobs out there that are even more convenient than in teaching in some public schools. Though they might not be as stable as being a public school teacher, I think it's just okay. As long as your friend would be earning some money again next time, she should be happy for that. Oh, I just hope she could have a job again soon. Have a good evening and happy myLotting to you. :)

Yes she was wrong to resign her current job, no matter if she turned out to be ill or not.. you just don't do that if you are not sure the new job is permanent. Not in a time with so many economic problems. I don't know what kind of illness one can have that you are not able to teach anymore, unless it's athletics. Teaching is mostly talking. It all depends on how you do it. But I do (partly) share your opinion that there are other things on her way. Greater things (she will find that too in the end) and her road is leading her elsewhere as she expected. I also agree this is not about making mistakes but about making decisions, which we all do daily, small and bigger ones. I think the only thing to be concerned about now is an income and to find time for herself... time and energy. She better not waste that about crying and feeling bad or quilty or telling herself she made a mistake. It's all useless and won't help her forward.

in the vast majoryity of life,wo are so careful of our life,we'll feel so tired,i think she is not wrong,wo can get more chances in the future ,so we can't be sad,we can't regret,now,we must start !

I know we have the benefit of hindsight. But honestly, it is just plain common sense. Mere selection in better job is not good enough reason to leave your present job. As it happened you can give up your job in your excitement without even being appointed for the job. I think past is past and she would do well to not get depressed about it. Try to help her get through this phase by being there for her. I think silent solid moral support would help her more than any advice really. Make her count her blessings and feel positive about herself. May god bless you both :)

Well it will not help if she blames herself. Who would know that would happen after all. Maybe the best thing is for her to go back to her previous employer and ask them if they could accommodate them back. If she has good records in that school, I see no reason why she won't be reinstated.

In fact, she had wrongly made an immediate decision to resign, because she wasn't sure yet about her status for a new job.. But still, it is right that instead you tell her about it, with her condition now. you make her feel calm. so she won't think of it that much.

i think she will take a decision with very frusteted mind , she never go for the resign before enshure for the next job, now fist of al she want to try for the better apportuenity, in all manner and then take a long stability on this , because the experience is very much important for the his job , ..so this is my adwise to her that take a strong decision and stable on it...

She was too overwhelmed with the new job offer that she had gain and not thinking thoroughly on the outcome of her actions. Well, sadly in my opinion it was not a great move quitting a job not knowing whether the great opportunity for her will really land on her faith. She shouldn't quit her job yet before making any actions. I had an experience before with my former high school teacher back then in the days, although hers was a good action. She had applied as a nurse for abroad but before she grab the opportunity... she think twice before accepting it. She did not quit her teaching yet since there was no go signal yet if her faith would really come to the nursing world overseas, so for the mean time she was still teaching and still complying for her requirements simultaneusly, After all was oka'y she took the job and resign as a teacher, now she's living hapily in Canada and i think she made the right decision by not quitting her teaching job before grabbing the nursing opportunity she had overseas.
