I was just wondering if anyone could give me a little more advice about trying to get an elementary teaching job in Fairfax county. I have emailed my resume and cover letter to several principals since July 1st, but haven't heard anything back. Is it a major issue that I don't yet have VA certification (I'm PA certified)? Also, do you think I'll get responses if I give a specific date that I'll be in the area? I was thinking of making a trip down there from about 7/21-7/23.
I am not extremely experienced, but I do have my Master's degree and I taught English in Japan for a year before going back to graduate school. Also, I was a long-term sub for a third-grade teacher (for about 2 months) ,a fifth-grade teacher (for about 1 month), and an ESL teacher last year (I got emergency certification for that, though).
Thanks!
