I am looking for a job on Long Island as a teacher and I dont know when to send out resumes. HELP!!!
I'm looking for a new job as well. I'd reccommend sending them out about Feb./ March. Most teachers need to notify in Jan. for retirements.
Thanks....in the past i sent them out in January but I dont know if that does any good or if they get thrown in a pile.
Get the NY Times every Sunday. In the weekly reveiw section, they print the upcoming educational openings. When I lived on LI, I sent my resume to every district and just got these silly postcards. I would wait until you see actual openings.
Yeah i do that too......I HATE those postcards LOL
You might as well wait until you see the ads in the Times or hear of a definite opening from someone. Also checks the olasjobs board for Nassau County positons and districts websites. SO many districts just use online apps now that if you send resumes you are just going to get back a postcard saying you need to do the online app - I've had that happen a few times.
honestly, the best time is towards the end of the school year, and then again in august. You never know what's going to pop up. I got my job for this year July 22nd. Good luck :)
I dont know how true that is about all districts... Both FI and I had our masters before we started our first teaching jobs! We started sending out resumes this time last year to posted jobs, then around March I sent out resumes to all districts... doing the latter did get me a few interviews as well as a lot of postcards. I would try everything and don't give up! FI didnt get his job offer unti the end of the summer too! Keep looking and sending out resumes until you hear the words 'You'r hired!'
I started around now by doing a mass mailing. Then got the NY times and saw what was posted and sent more that way. Don;t be discouraged. I got my job in July. I wouldn't wait though. You want your name to be included in the initial pool. They sometimes go back to that pool if something opens up all of a sudden. That's what my district did when I was on the hiring committee.
I started sending out resumes in January! Start looking in the week in review in the NY times. Also A LOT of districts are now only accepting online applications, so check out school district websites and also Nassau and Suffolk Boces websites. I got my job by posting my resume online!!
check the Nassua BOCES website. i had more luck with the jobs listed on that website. i got called for a few interviews. Also try the suffolk Boces website
