I have been working at a private school for the past 12 years. I go on unemployment every summer because my contract runs out the last day of school and nothing has ever been guaranteed with this school. Well, that was proven to the max as the school is closing its doors for good and will not reopen for the 19-20 school year. Having a family, being 48, owning a house, and having a lot of physical issues, I have no idea what the hell I am going to do.
Anyone know of a job opening on Long Island, I am reaching out wherever I can. Already started applying on indeed, glassdoor, and wherever else I can find.
All the best to you Tom
Seems like this would be the worst possible time for a teacher to look for a job (just my guess - I'm not an expert in this field).
Could at least tide you over till the next hiring cycle.

Every day is a SNOW DAY!!!!
Put the word out locally that you will private tutor. My wife was a public school teacher and even though she left it years ago she has always had people asking her to tutor her children. She taught HS math teacher so maybe that makes a difference but I would think science would be similar and you would get some work. At least that way you have some cash coming in while looking for something permanent.
Every day is a SNOW DAY!!!!
But the pay isn't as good....
Fatman,
It is a snow day everyday without the snow and pay so it sucks!
Best of luck to you.
And Farmingdale is where the school was that I was working at.
Scour USAjobs.com if interested in any federal/state employment. They also factor documented disabilities (if applicable), and provide equal employment opportunity in most job advertisements from what I've gathered.

I'd love to hear about some of these programs. I feel like it as all mostly lip service.

For those who hold a DD214 and a disability rating, Ch. 31 VocRehab program is great! The VA provides training/education and opportunity for job placement in house. It's very successful on the training part, but the employment side falls more on the individual to be prepared for interviews and which area they would like to work.

I actually used chapter 31 to get my finance degree. The training part kind of falls by the wayside if you can't use your training to get employment. I would have loved to have more assistance in that area. I was also never offered job placement in house.
Many Vet's are focused on "the next move/transition"; once the time comes today's Vet's often forget what's available from the week long program, or just show up because they have to.

I work at a lab in Farmingdale and they have a department where you deal with samples by processing them. Dont think you need really experience.
