This is a short guide on how to find teaching jobs. Not everyone know how to find teaching jobs, and that is perfectly understandable – sometimes it seems like they are hiding or are just out of reach. We are going to teach you how to find teaching jobs. Just follow these steps:

· Use the career center of your university or college to help show you how to find a teaching job.
o Establish a professional career folder with letters of recommendation, official copies of transcripts, and also your teaching certification documents. Your career center can keep these on file permanently for future employers’ reference.
§ Also keep in your career folder a statement of your teaching philosophy that includes and highlights your classroom methodology, coursework, and teaching preparation.
o You can also use the career center to obtain examples of great resumes of other educators to help you see how to write your own fantastic resume. Make sure you include your specialization and courses that relate to it, courses that you taught as a student teacher, and other important information.
§ Write a generic cover letter to use when you send out your resumes – of course, make sure that you modify your resume for each job you are applying for. Be sure to include reasons as to why you want to teach at a specific school and also the contributions that you will be able to make to that school if they hire you.
· Besides using your career center to help you find teaching jobs, you can use your college career center, internet sites, personal professional contacts, and local and regional newspapers.
· Do not simply send in your resume and application to school and leave it at that. Be sure to follow up your applications with a phone call to the school district office to which you have applied.
· Do not just apply for one teaching job – be sure to apply to every school that interests you within a certain district. If you cannot get any of those jobs, consider working in a less desirable location – it may be easier to get the teaching job, and it will still be great experience.
· Announcement for job openings start appearing early in the spring – start searching for a job then. Schools are going to want to fill these positions as long before the new school year starts as possible.

These are just a few suggestions on how to find teaching jobs. Be sure to visit your career center and ask your peers how to find teaching jobs, as
