It gives advice on all parts of job searching, from how to train through how to make a good impression when you start teaching.

How to Get the Teaching Job You Want: The Complete Guide for College Graduates, Returning Teachers and Career Changers ASIN: 1579220290 Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: A Must Have for Teachers Who Want a Job! Comments: I bought this book knowing that the authors worked in the schools as administrators. They were in charge of hiring and firing. This would help me to know what is expected of me when looking for a job. The book is filled with important information and tips. It not only covers the basic resume and cover letter but how to make it stand out! They mention what you should wear to an interview and how to answer some difficult questions. They provide internet links to popular job links for educators. The book includes how to create a portfolio, how to sit, some frequently asked questions, and tons of interview questions. This book is recommended on every education web site that I have been to recently. I have found this book helpful in presenting me in a good light and as a unique employee. After using this book, I just received a call for me to have my second interview. This book is a must for every teacher seeking a job today!
