nbr-job hunting

edited March 2014 in July 2014 Moms
Tis the season to start teacher job hunting and I've applied for what's available. That said, it's been 5 years since I've graduated with my BA and I just started my masters program to re-validate my teaching certificate since I was not able to secure a teaching job in that time. So if you could spare any thoughts and prayers that *THIS* will finally be my year...and I won't be discriminated against for being mega pregnant (even though that doesn't happen ::eye roll::), it'd greatly appreciate it!

    The only teaching jobs I could get we're through family connections. Luckily my dad works in administration. Have you managed to get to know any principals or teachers who can put in a personal recommendation for you?

    Finally... this school year I actually got into a public school district as an assistant. In the past,I always knew someone who knew someone who knew someone. Hopefully, this will help.

    The nepotism in school districts is disgusting to me. I graduated in 2008 and have yet to land a FT regular teacher's elementary position. There's also very very few jobs in this field available in SWPA. I went to a job fair in NC 5 years ago and walked away with 7 offers after 3 hours of interviews!

    Good luck. I know how stressful it is. After spending 6 years in education I've realized I made a mistake and wish I had chosen a different field. I may take classes for something else while staying home with LO so it at least expands my options when I reenter the job force in a few years.

    Good Luck!!!

    I totally feel your pain. I graduated in 2006 and spent 3 years substitute teaching with little prospects of a FT position. I finally changed careers because I was tired of not having a steady salary and not knowing what I was doing the next day when I went to bed.

    Good luck! I am sure it is not fun searching so you have my good thoughts 100%!
    And for those of y'all looking for teaching jobs, move to Texas... Haha! (I don't mean that as real advice... I don't expect you to pick up and move)! But, my area has lots of schools opening here bc our districts are getting overcrowded. I am completing my 7th year as a high school English teacher. I'm certified to be a Librarian which is the job I really want and can't find! I keep calling around and most districts say that more jobs (especially for new schools) will be posted throughout April. Maybe you will find even more opportunities then!

    Good luck! I'm originally from NW PA and went to college there and I still remember all the trouble my education major friends had finding teaching jobs in the area.
