Herman, Jerry J.
This book provides a blueprint to help both practicing and aspiring administrators conduct a successful job search. Eight chapters present specific strategies for the following: preparing a winning profile; locating and selecting potential positions; writing an effective job application; getting the job interview; negotiating the employment conditions; preparing for the next administrative position; developing an entry plan; and choosing career options outside school administration. The book includes letters of application, examples of vitae, and a sample superintendent's employment contract. Appendices contain a job search model and reflective job-search exercises. An annotated bibliography is included. (LMI)
