Tips For Teachers Seeking Jobs

January 21st, 2012 by admin No comments »

You’ve worked hard to get through college. You’ve finished student teaching. You have a great portfolio and you have a lot of ideas about how to be a good teacher. Now how do you get hired? I’ve hired many teachers in my career as an elementary school principal. Here are some tips I offer to prospective teachers:

Tip 1: Know what you want. Make a list of what you are looking for in a job and read that list every day. Don’t settle for anything less. Read the book The Secret. If you believe it you will achieve it. A couple of times in my life I’ve been hired for jobs that I was probably under-qualified but when I went into my interview, I exuded self-confidence.

Tip 2: Maintain a positive attitude. Make a list of all of your positive attributes related to teaching and read them out loud every day. This will help you with your own self-esteem as well as prepare you for you for your interviews as well as any phone and networking contacts you may come across unexpectedly. Read positive literature. Keep a journal.

Tip 3: Plan your day as if you are already working. Follow a daily schedule. Get up in the morning. Work out. Get dressed as if you were going to work. You never know who you will run into that will be a job lead. You want to look your best. Spend at least one hour per day sending out resumes. Work a part-time job or volunteer. Make a list of areas you need to work on as well.

Spend at least two hours per doing relevant reading and research on those areas as well as the following topics:

1.Classroom Management: I haven’t seen a new teacher yet who knew enough about how to control large groups of children.

2.Effective, hands-on lessons: Principals are looking for creative teachers who can keep students actively engaged.

3. Helpful, online teacher websites: It is helpful to have at least five bookmarked websites that you can go to for lesson plan ideas in your chosen teaching area. Make a list of areas you need to work on as well.

Tip 4: Develop a good cover letter and resume. Superintendents, principals and other district Human Resources staff spend between ten to fifteen seconds perusing your resume to determine if you are worthy of an interview. They look at skills, work experience and college attended. Your resume should be one page because they won’t look at the second page. They will also peruse your letters of recommendation so make sure they are attached to your resume. At my website My Special Needs Classroom, I give sample resumes and related items. » Read more: Tips For Teachers Seeking Jobs
