Families are really struggling and it had a seriously uncompassionate vibe.

Families are struggling because of loss of jobs and this post offered up . . . an opportunity for a job. What is your problem?

Tell me you’re not paying attention to a teaching shortage without telling me you’re not paying attention.

In fairness all the people around here who criticize Feds most likely send their kids to Joe’s Bible Barn.

So glad I didn’t have anything in my mouth as I read Joe’s Bible Barn. 😂

You will burn in hell for mocking Joe's Bible Barn. Jesus and god and the holy ghost, aka holy spirit, are watching you. All three of them who are three persons in one god. or whatever. Not sure about that part but just believe it or you will burn in hell. Unless you repent. Do that, because the Joe's Bible Barn people are worried about ya'll's souls.

As someone who has not lost my job, but is having job insecurity, it makes me feel better seeing these sorts of targeted efforts. 90,000 jobs is great. Although I’m sure many are not exactly what laid off Feds will be looking for, a job and benefits is better than none. Thank you Fairfax county!

Wow, the event was full and they had a waitlist. Glad people took advantage and hope it was useful.

I’m interested in hearing about whether it helped some people.

Same! I encouraged my H but it showed as waitlisted.

How is this desperate? There’s a ton of excellent talent available. It’s smart.

The event was packed. The initial information session was informative. However, breakout sessions were very hard to navigate. I gathered some handouts but will have to do follow-up this week to get answers to my questions.

Where have you been? All DMV school systems are this desperate, and have been since 2020. Good for FCPS. Thanks for posting, OP.

They are not desperate. I am a veteran teacher and have been interviewing with all the counties recently. I've had offers from quite a few school administrators, but run into trouble with HR when I turned out to be too expensive, or wasn't willing to accept a lower pay step than where I should be based on experience and education. I think they are primarily interested in new teachers or people with no teaching experience because they are much cheaper than experienced teachers. I see this as a bad sign for the teaching profession.
