There ARE jobs for teachers, and this step-by-step guide will help college students and career changers find those jobs and get them. Whether you seek a job as a substitute teacher or full-time pre-school, elementary, middle, or high school teacher, the strategies needed to win a job are here.
The job market has changed, and teachers no longer get jobs just by just student teaching in a school. Todays candidates need to use online search engines to find openings, and then produce a cover letter, resume, and portfolio that showcases their training. Interviewing is much more than answering the question, Tell me about yourself. Teacher candidates must master the art of the behavior-based interview to sell their experience and expertise to employers. When a candidates Facebook page can make or break hiring, everything a potential new teacher does is important.
Get a Teaching Job NOW is the most thorough book I have read on seeking employment in education. This book covers it all! Job seekers who read and follow the advice in this book will put themselves ahead of others in the line for jobs." -- Jim Fitzpatrick, President, SchoolSpring.com
Believe this information! It will help the job seeker be prepared for the path to employment. -- Doug Peden, AAEE, Executive Director
