I resigned Monday in the blind faith that my verbal job offer would pan out. I'm THRILLED to have just gotten the call inviting me to orientation on Aug 14th! I've been trying to get in this district for 5 years!!!!
You just don't know! Numbers change, budgets get slashed, etc. It's pretty commonplace to assume the worst until your contract is signed. Unfortunately, I won't have a contract until mid-Sept, but I was told over the phone I can come pick up a a "new-hire verification letter" for income verification because I'm moving, I feel confident enough with that.
That's great news! Congratulations! Where in North Carolina are you? I have an interview in North Carolina next week.
Yay! I am so glad it all worked out. I know how stressful this whole thing has been for you! How exciting that it's all working out for you.
