    << I am a recent graduate student who applied to the county I did my student
    teaching for and was not even called in for an interview. Is this common
    practice? The Superintendent, who I have been in contact with over the past
    year in preparation for the position, told me that he only considered
    experienced teachers and one other student teacher. I found this odd? Should
    I be concerned?

    Its the old paradox. They only hire experienced people so then how does one
    become experienced?
    Long term subbing is one way. Prove yourself in the classroom first and then
    apply.
    But they always leave the backdoor ajar for those with connections, do you
    have any? Its like that all over. All the training and credentials don't make
    up for lack of classroom experience (or connections!).
