Hi there-

I just became certified to teach elementary in the state of Michigan--where finding a teaching job is impossible right now. I have applied to a lot of schools in MA...and I've sent out personal emails to principals with my resumes, and I have not gotten 1 interview, but there are a lot of postings for jobs that I keep seeing.

Any information someone could give me would be helpful...like how hard is it to get a teaching job in MA, or what I could do to better my chances of getting interviews, thanks!

She told me she had decided to relocate back to NOVA as her family is there and went and an interview at a major school ...See More
