Well guys I applied for another job at the same company. I truly believe I am perfect for this job it needs someone mature with a diverse background. One of the requirements is "Proven ability to quickly learn large amounts of new complex technical information required" I think the fact that I earned 29 credits in 4 months (or one semester) while working and preparing and taking 3 PRAXIS II exams, says I meet that requirement. Now I just have to at least get a phone interview to get a chance to spell that out to them. Wish me luck.

I think you're going to have a better experience this time around. I think this forum is a good example of people not willing to accept defeat. No problems, only solutions, right? Good luck!

Lindagerr, have you considered doing one of the WGU Post-Baccalaureate Online Teacher preparation programs to finish up getting your credential? From looking at their website it looks like they work with schools near you to help meet the In-Classroom Student Teaching (Demonstration Teaching) requirement. Their tuition also looks pretty affordable, especially since you have almost everything done.

Thank you all for the well wishes, now I just have to wait and see.

@Daithi: I appreciate the suggestion, I looked at that program and the MAT program at WGU I was going to do the MAT but then I realized the program would take a minimum of 1 year and I would have no teaching experience except the student teaching. There are so many experienced younger BA and MA teachers out there I think my chances of a job are limited. In NJ I also had the in of two school systems that were familiar with my work here I am just another of many.
