How long have you been trying? Since I graduated in May 2008 How many resumes did you send out? Around 50. How many interviews or job fairs? 4 interviews What general geographic area? NJ And of course what grade and/or subject? Pre-School I begin October 13th!
How long have you been trying? Since the end of May last year when I found out I was laid off. How many resumes did you send out? Through most of the summer, laid off teachers were told to submit their resume to an online principals only site, so I didn't send out a lot of resume, but as openings started to pop up the last months or so, I've probably sent out five resumes. How many interviews or job fairs? 1 interview (it wasn't even for the job that I got... weird!) What general geographic area? New Brunswick (Canada) And of course what grade and/or subject? Grade Three! I begin tomorrow! Lots of work to go... heading in to my classroom this afternoon to try and get things looking ok.

congrats dfleming and poise. It is wonderful that this list is still growing though school has started.
It really is! There's some more job postings coming out in our district today... here's hoping there's more jobs where you all are too!
It just takes one phone call, one interview, and one principal to see your potential. It is up to you to continue to work hard, meet the challenge, and make it happen. All the best to all our job seekers.
Our district still shows 37 openings, and I know there will be a few more, because they are adding new classes left and right. Don't give up! There's a job out there for you somewhere!

Reading this thread makes me really understand how we are a close-nit forum family. We are a positive community of teachers that just want to party at night and not work too hard in the day.
