Interviews

I had my first real interview today. It was for an afterschool program that caters to students through unconventional learning methods—like teaching science and math through cooking. It sounded pretty rewarding. I’ve spent the last six years as an undergraduate and beyond training for teaching college and graduate students. If I were to be hired for this position it would certainly be a big change of pace. The thing is—every one learns differently. Last January was the first time (save summer) that I actually didn’t take any classes. Throughout the last almost twenty years of school I have witnessed lecture after lecture and class after class with different instructors. I’ve witnessed many teaching methods that “worked” for me. I’ve also seen many that didn’t work. I think that this job opportunity will be fruitful not only for me as a future college professor but as a leader of the Church. We need new and unconventional ways to reach out to people. We certainly aren’t all brought to God in the same way—just like we don’t learn the same way. I’ll find out next week if I still need to “job hunt.” The suspense is killing me!
