Report

I went through a 4 year teaching program and am certified
in Elementary Education and Art K-12 in NJ. However, the
state is oversaturated with teachers, one job I applied to
had over 3,000 applicants :( So I've decided to start
looking elsewheres, just not sure where to begin...

I requested an application packet from the CDE site, should
I wait for that and turn it in before looking for jobs?
Here in NJ, we can apply to jobs before being totally
certified and have an emergency certification or rushed
certification. Usually this happens if you really luck out
and get hired straight from graduation and your paperwork
is still in process, it can take 6+ months for your cert to
come in the mail.

I'm not sure how it works in CO...any tips? Thanks in
advance
