If you are venturing into a teacher job search, this checklist and tips will determine if you need professional interviewing assistance.
An education job hunt can be stressful, time-consuming, and lengthy. This combination can often make you quickly feel lost in the teacher job search process. Stress itself can make you feel like you’ve lost your sanity.
Checklist for Job Hunting
That’s why I’ve created this job hunting checklist for teaching or other educational professionals. The list is designed to help educators seeking a job navigate the teacher job search by making the most of their time and energy.
Don’t get discouraged in your job search; below is a checklist to understand the benefits of working with an academic resume writer and interview/career/job search coach who has earned multiple certifications and designations over the years.
The point is to make you, the job seeker, look and feel professional, save you time, and attract employers easier. If you are struggling with any of these, then you should study this checklist!
Read these statements below to help you decide if it is time to invest in professional career help.
Count the number of statements that are true for you.
The more true statements, the more you need to consider working with a resume writer and career coach.
It would be the perfect solution to get your teaching career moving.
