Current issues in teacher recruitment and employment are addressed in this collection of fifteen articles, many of them written by career planning office directors. The focus is on unemployed beginning teachers, with articles on using placement services, preparing a resume, and advice on interview procedures. Other topics include: "What Does it Take to Get Your Foot in the Door?"; "How to Get the Most Mileage Out of Your Education"; "What Superintendents Consider Important in Hiring"; and "How to Get a Job in a Tight Market." Actual hiring practices and the changing field of education are also reviewed, in "The Teacher Selection Process: What Really Happens"; "Overseas Teaching Opportunities"; "The Graduate School Dilemma"; and "Alternative Careers for Education Majors." A directory of state certification offices in the United States is included, as well as the Association for School, College, and University Staffing code of ethics for placement officials. (FG)
