gravitao's journey

I have a job interview this Thursday for a paraprofessional position at a special education school. I attended a job fair last week and connected with some staff from the school, who were impressed with my resume and offered me the interview. I'm feeling a mix of excitement and nerves since I don't know much about the role yet, but I'm eager to leave my current job. I've started researching the school and the responsibilities of a paraprofessional. If anyone has tips or experiences to share about working in this role, I would greatly appreciate it!

I’ve reached a breaking point at my job after nearly 9 years. I used to be fully invested, but a series of negative experiences including sexual harassment, racism, and a toxic work environment have completely drained my motivation. I've only received two raises during my time here, and I’m now making the same salary as new hires. The lack of appreciation and the humiliation tactics from my boss have made it unbearable. I find myself sitting in my car for hours after breaks, dreading going inside. I’ve started to half-ass my work and call off frequently because I just don’t care anymore. The only thing keeping me here is the insurance and the fact that I’m not micromanaged. It feels like something inside me has broken, and I’m seriously considering a change, but the job market seems tough right now.
