the HT waste her time getting an interview sorted for me! It only took a few more days though for me to be spitting feathers and wanting to call them back and tell them exactly why I wouldn't be recommending their school to anyone in the future!
Anyway... no help to you I suppose, but a story I just remembered! Er, certainly the one above takes supply teachers on personal recommendation only from current teachers. It may be worth popping into one with your CV and a covering letter though?
