So, protocol question

Posted by Reagen Dec 1 '16, 15:18

A teacher at my daughter's school, who I did one of my practicums with and who I still have a pretty good casual contact with, is retiring. Not sure what grade he's teaching right now, but it's in the 7-9 range (not my preferred level, but OK, and the school itself is great). This would amazing for several reasons to take over, not the least of which just having a job, but we'd also be able to take her out of before and after school care and save a few bucks (and I could walk to work). I know he's retiring from the school newsletter so I'm not snooping that way, and I have his email both from the practicum and from working for the same board. He flat out asked me in a joking-not-joing way a year and a half ago if I wanted a job in a year. (he wouldn't get the final say but might have some input)

What's the right way to approach this?

Responses:

Call him and congratulate him on his retirement. That may cause him to ask you about it again. If he doesn't bring it up, just bring it up yourself. -- nm - pmb Dec 1, 15:31 1
- and ask for his help to make it happen. he should know all the players and a recommendation from him will help....very good luck :) -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 1, 15:44
If he flat out asked you, bring up the conversation and say you are definitely interested. - spamlet Dec 1, 15:30 1
- I agree with this. The guy showed you the baited hook. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 1, 16:03

I'm always a big fan of directness in these situations. The other person will know what you want, whether you beat around the bush or not. -- nm - David Dec 1, 15:21
