Yes, you are qualified. Don't rule out the possibility that the school hiring you and more importantly the PERSON considering hiring you may not have the same credentials and could very well feel threatened. That being the case, you probably wouldn't be made overly welcome by your new boss or even other teachers.
I'm sure, though, that you will find something suitable soon.
Good luck! |

| Saraswati has brought up a very good point about less qualified bosses and teachers feeling threatened by someone who is more qualified than they are. Also, keep in mind that if a DOS has a choice between hiring a well qualified outsider or the not-so-qualified nephew of someone connected with the school owner, the nephew gets the job. |
