Job Search

Jobseeking is Hard is a weekly newsletter put out by Kapriak Consulting, which talks about the unique challenges of job hunting. Each week questions get answered, frustrations get shared (including the worst questions folks have been asked in a job interview). It’s a great resource to take a look at, though not explicitly related to the teaching field.

Sample Educational Resume There are many ways to build a resume. This site offers a lot of variety. I generally prefer “old school” resumes, an example is the “Teaching Assistant” template. Remember that you’re likely going to need to copy all the information from your Resume into an online application program such as Frontline.

Cover Letter. There are a ton of ways to do a Cover Letter. These frequently discuss or highlight areas that your resume does not. Think numbers, achievement, descriptors. If there are gaps or areas you need to discuss, the Cover Letter lets you do that.

SchoolSpring is often your best go-to to find job listings. Your state may also have a teacher assoication website which hosts links. Also dont hesitate to Google schools in your area and see what might be on their employment or jobs page.

Hire me. Over the last twenty years, I have applied for roles in human serivces, private companies, nonprofits, and educational institutions on many levels. I’ve also been on the other side of the table, opening new programs and bringing teams together for the first time. I’ve worked with folks from teachers, interns, princpals, and district administrators cretae and polish their materials, land interviews, and knock hiring committee’s socks off. Reach out and we can talk about what makes sense for your situation.
