How Can You Land That Teacher Job?

Landing a teaching job can be hard, but here is some advice to make it easier:

I had a really hard time finding my first teaching job. I found myself sending out a lot of resumes, but not getting a lot of interviews. So, that's when I went to njhire.com. I posted my resume, and can you believe that a district actually called ME?!

When I think of finding a teaching job, I think of schools being swamped with resumes-- I've never thought of them actually looking on site's like that! So, I highly recommend websites like njhire.com!

I tried to make sure that my resume proved what kind of teacher I am. I put in my cover letter that I was creative and very much into teaching with technology. I think that really was a plus.

After getting interviewed-- be patient. But also make sure at the same time that you are following up on your interviews.
