Have had a couple of opportunities vanish before my eyes recently....am wondering if being a single , female elementary teacher with many years experience is the kiss of death this recruiting season? I absolutely understand the pressures schools have to hire couples to fill hard to fill positions and then plugging in the spouse in an open elementary position. However, that does not help me pay my bills, if you know what I mean.


The minuses are listed above, the plusses listed below:
5 years PYP experience
13 years teaching overseas ( most in Elementary classroom, 3 as Reading/Gifted Specialist...)
excellent reviews
resilience, flexibility, etc. ( anyone who teaches overseas and likes it probably has these qualities)

Anyone else experienced this lately? Advice?
