I moved to IN this summer after my husband got a job with
Nipsco. I started sending out resumes and applications in
April, making follow-up phone calls about every week and a

I almost feel like I'm a "newbie" again... the latest thing I'm
getting from a couple of districts around here is whether or not
I have experience teaching in an urban environment, which I
don't. One district apparently won't even consider teachers who
don't have urban experience. I guess I'll have to focus ...See More

I just moved to a rural area in Indiana and had a hard time also.
I have 4 years teaching experience but was unable to find a full
time position (no calls or interviews) but I did apply and will be
working 2 half time para jobs. I think if you do something like
