[humanser] School Counseling

[Melissa Ann Riccobono]

Hello Sue-Ellen,
Keep searching!  I looked for a job for 9 months before I was hired as a
school counselor...  In Baltimore County at Logan Elementary School.  I
worked there for three years, then resigned to stay at home with my son, and
now I stay at home with my son and daughter.  I was not hired until mid
September, when I had almost given up findind a job.  So, keep your name and
your resume out there!  Things happen at schools all of the time.
Counselors go on maternity leave, move away, resign for a variety of
reasons...  So sometimes jobs come open when you least expect them.  Please
feel free to email me off list if you'd like to talk "local" talk about what
I did in order to make sure my name was out there.  I'm sure you're probably
doing the same things, but I'll be happy to share what I can.  Make sure you
have filled out any applications necessary in order to serve as a substitute
counselor in the school districts you mentioned.  I actually was initially
hired as a long term sub, and then was hired permaniently because the person
I was subbing for did not want to return to her position.
	Again, the best of luck to you, and I'll be hoping something comes
open to you!
Melissa

Hello to Everyone,

This past May I received my MS degree in School Counseling from Johns
Hopkins University.  Since graduation, I have been looking for a job.  The
school districts are not really hiring School Counselors.  I am visually
impaired so I am dependent on MTA Mobility for transportation.  This limits
the areas that I can work to Anne Arundel County, Baltimore County, and
Baltimore City.  In addition to my MS degree in School Counseling, I also
earned a BA degree in Psychology, and an AA degree in Early Childhood
Education.  It's not easy to find work in Human Services.

This is my first message to this group.

Take Care,

Sue-Ellen Clarke
