Ooh, ooh, me too! I don't have my credential yet, but I'm so proud of getting a job as an After-School Educator and so eager to start. How long have you been trying? Since January How many resumes did you send out? Dozens. How many interviews or job fairs? I interviewed for one other job in education, back in March, that I didn't get. This was the second time I'd been called for an interview and I ended up interviewing three times for this position! What general geographic area? CA Bay Area And of course what grade and/or subject? K-5 After-School Educator. I'll be doing academics/ homework help with a class of Ks or 1st graders (don't know yet), plus an enrichment activity with a mixed-age group.
Please add my fiance to the list. He's atoz name is JNYCE. He's going to be an elementary computer teacher in NJ

I got the job! How long have you been trying? Since December How many resumes did you send out? I applied for 70+ jobs. (I had a color resume, I spent at least 20 hours perfecting it.) How many interviews or job fairs? Five interviews. I made a list of job interview questions, from atozteach, and I practiced answering whenever I had a long drive. I attended one job fair in December, however most of the districts were not actually hiring. They were mostly just handing out fliers and saying, "not hiring, maybe later." What general geographic area? Western state And of course what grade and/or subject? 9th/10th grade reading
