I've been teaching for a couple of years here and there. I moved to a new country for school and then started working there. I lost my privilege to teach cuz I am not a certified teacher in this country. I understand the rules and I'm not being bitter about it.
I had other experiences and skills which helped me to land some gigs. I'm barely making my ends meet so I am looking for a full time job once again.
I was approached by a few HR working in different day care centers. I lined up a few interviews in the hope that I can get another source of income during this post pandemic inflation season.
I have skills and I am good with kids. I did well in these interviews. I spent 40 minutes for each interview trying to present the best of myself to my potential bosses. At the end of these interview, they told me that they can offer me hourly rate range from $15 (minimum wage) to $16.5. I told them that I need to think about their generous offers and get back to them. I didn't.
I am struggling for sure. But I can't let them win.
