Ah yes, the folk-knowledge from high school. Always offered by the academic class with no background in having real jobs.
IMO, thank you letters seem desperate for anything other than an entry level job. Interviews should be testing you for fit (primarily technical) for the role. If you pass this criteria, they will be very excited for you to join with their team because there is high demand for skilled workers.
- JasonFruit 8y agoTIL teaching isn't a real job.
- pwinnski 8y agoFew people are so openly ignorant, but this is a very common belief.
- linuxftw 8y agoMany people don't view public sector (government) workers as legitimate professions, teachers included. They are part of the bureaucratic machine, and their experiences don't replicate what the rest of society encounters. Is a chemistry teacher that's never been employed in the private sector (aka, had a 'real job') as a chemist a good source of knowledge about obtaining a job as a chemist? Not really.
