First Week Subbing

So this past week was a pretty good week! Last sunday I downloaded the Jobulator app for a free trial to try and book some sub jobs, and boy did it work! I was able to book 6 jobs just on the first day, which will be more than enough to pay for it when my trial runs out. If you are currently subbing and are not using this app, I highly recommend it!

Monday was all booking jobs for the rest of the week, and every other day I was subbing. I was able to get schools that were not too far from my house, so that worked out great. I worked in various grades, and each day was a different building. When I left each building at the end of the day, I made sure to leave the teacher I subbed for my business card, and leave my résumé and business card with the secretary to keep me in mind for future sub jobs. On Friday I also went around to several elementary schools around my house (there are a few) and left my card and résumé for them as well to keep me in mind. I hope it works out!

Tomorrow most schools don't have school, and my local district does not have school on Friday so unless I get jobs in different districts I might be looking at a short work week. Monday and Tuesday I have meetings in the morning with administration members at two different schools, so that I can find out more about the programs/curriculums that they offer. I am looking forward to these!

I did fairly well with my goals that I set out for this past week, although I did not do as much as I thought I would get done (I was not expecting to book up my whole week with jobs so fast!). So for this next week I am going to continue working on:

1. Reading Love and Logic (which I am loving already!)
2. Make my brochure
3. Keep networking
4. Get back into Twitter ( @meet_miss_b)

I was very happy with how this week went, hopefully I can continue to have more great weeks like this!
