I was offered a renewal of my contract working here for next year, and I've got to let them know by May 1 whether I'm accepting it or not. A school that I really want to work for, and where I think I've got a really good chance of getting the job, just contacted me about setting up an interview. I explained the situation here with the deadline, and they said that they'd try to schedule my interview as soon as possible, but that they won't have a definite answer by May 1. I guess I'll see what "as soon as possible" means and then see what happens.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Can you tell your current school that you have personal issues and ask to extend your decision making time past May 1?

Oops. Just read your Facebook post. May 1 IS an extension. Sorry.

Ugh, I'm sorry that all is still up in the air. I hope you can at least have a good feel for the other position before May 1st.

Hill, do you actually have to sign a contract by May 1, or just let them know whether you intend to return?
When people are employing you year-to-year, you don't owe them anything other than prompt notification if you find a better job.
