Educator's Job Search: The Ultimate Guide to Finding Positions in Education.
Kimeldorf, Martin
This workbook offers advice and exercises for anyone planning a job search in the field of education. By completing the exercises prior to planning a job search, it is possible to learn to examine oneself for strengths, weaknesses, past experiences, and goals; investigate school districts to see how they compare with one's own attributes and goals; network to discover leads and key contacts; write an impressive resume; give a great interview; effectively organize and maintain a job search; and thoroughly evaluate job offers. Four key job-hunting tips are identified: championing personal strengths; using back doors, such as meeting teachers in the field or networking at conferences; thinking like an employer; and continuously following up in order to demonstrate a sincere interest in a particular school district. The guide is organized into seven chapters: (1) Assess Yourself; (2) Survey Prospective Schools; (3) Write the Right Resume; (4) Line Up Your Interviews; (5) Master the Interview; (6) Maintain a Winning Attitude; and (7) Evaluate Your Offers. Appendices provide tips for college and university job seekers and information about finding overseas jobs. (LL)
