I'm actually sick of this, I've been having interviews and responses from new teaching jobs, they all want you to start immediately, yet at the same time, want you to have years of teaching experience. Every time I tell them I need to do a month's notice, I fail the interview or they ghost me, so they basically want someone who is an experienced teacher, and at the same time, unemployed at the time of applying.

 

I get everything is supply and demand, but Jesus, I'm really starting to consider if I should just quit my job at this point, since no employer seems to be able to hold out for a month.

What's your thoughts on this?

Never, ever, give up the security of a monthly paycheque. 

 

Can you explain to your employer your predicament and give them the opportunity to line up your replacement one out, one in? ...or, if push comes to shove, walk out on them, bearing in mind the possible consequences.....no references?

I could, they also already know I'm trying to leave however, as I resigned before but quickly cancelled it after I found out the new employer was an illegal company. So IMO they may already be lining someone up without telling me, and will sack me when the new guy's ready.

 

I'm considering the quick walk out too, it's just against my programming, because of the reference consequence as you said, I did my only 2 years of teaching at this school, would be a shame to destroy that reference.

Yes...agree....references carry a huge amount of weight.....so a bit of a tightrope to walk.
