Bad references

by Anon

Nov 18, 2013

I was let go years ago from a temporary teaching position in Broward County. It was my first job as a teacher. I wasn't told a reason just that "my services are longer needed". I want to teach again but I'm not sure my last supervisor will even remember me or give me a reference. What steps can I take in order to secure a teaching position? I live ...See More

anon It would appear you would probably have to "start all over" again and substitute teach in order to get references and try to "worm your way" back into the field.

What is sad about the 20K deal is this school is probably FLOODED with applications and resumes. Even if the economy overall was good, many people would apply for these jobs just to get the "experience" and then move on to regular school districts.

by Vinny
