Jenna,
Don't get discouraged. I really think the key to getting any
job is getting out there and talking to the people doing the
hiring. It's easier to sell yourself in person than on
paper. When I graduated from my program it was December, I
got hired the following February for a Title I position. I
called the lady over the program and she scheduled an
interview for me before I even got the application in. Then
I got my gen. ed. position after the following year had
already started. I heard about the position and called the
principal. She scheduled my interview without seeing an
application simply from talking to me. Let them know you
want it! :-) Good luck!
