Hi,

I've put in several resumes in my state, but I haven't had any luck at all finding a teaching position. Currently, I substitute teach, and it's a somewhat miserable profession The pay is very low, and the students sometimes insist on treating you like a second-class citizen. I've even had textbook throwing occur! My experiences as a sub were definitely not something the teacher education program prepared me for. In spite of all of this, I still have a lot of enthusiasm for teaching at the end of the day. I would really like to settle down in my own classroom, though. Despite the challenges, I would like to try real teaching. I imagine even the worst most draining classroom as a potentially wonderful experience. Do you know of any areas where English teachers with bachelor's degrees are needed?
I'm sorry to say I don't know of any good markets for English Teachers. Could you get certified in another area to make yourself more marketable? Good Luck in your search.

8-9 public school systems accepting applications in AL... OP> you seem to be from Alabama -- so am I. Are you registered with the state website here? [link removed]).

Are you open to a move within the state, between states, or internationally?

There may not be loads of positions, but there are jobs to be found.

subteacher86 Yes, I'm from Alabama. Did you deduce that from my description of the public schools, or did you read it in a previous post? I live in Mobile, on the Gulf Coast, though, so certain parts of Alabama might be too far away. Couple that with the fact that I do not have reliable transportation, and I guess my choices are quite limited. I would like to t...See More

AL Teacher I had read a previous post where you'd mentioned Mobile. I don't think your description of subbing is especially unique to Alabama.

With the international schools, they will usually help with transportation in the way of a plane ticket; however, if you're wanting to stay within the state (or in the States, as many Americans living overseas...See More
