False Advertising

So I am still on the job hunt. I had an interview yesterday, it didn't work in my favour. Oh well. I was most likely considered because the principal came from the same small town I came from. And the fact that my co-op used to teach there. Exactly, how do these divisions decide who to interview? Who do they shortlist? I mean, is there some kind of bias or something? "Oh I recognize some of these names, let's give em an interview.. these other ones we'll throw away"
The College promotes heavily on the need and demand for Math/Science teachers. So I went with the flow, I chose Math and Comp Sci. Any jobs available when I graduate? Nope.. Their recruitment strategies are a little misleading, if I don't say so myself.

Same boat, just finished student teaching in May. I've sent out a ton of resumes it just seems like all the schools must have one big incinerator because I've gotten no calls.

I have heard this lament from a number of young teachers. They feel as though they were sold a bill of goods. I can only hope more of us older teachers will take those retirement bonuses and go. I did.
