Winter Break
- Revise and update your resume and create a cover letter
- Begin to develop a list of schools/systems that interest you
- Ask for recommendations: be sure to tell faculty you will need to receive their letter directly and will be making multiple copies of it; applying to many positions is essential to acquiring your first teaching job
- Compile 3-5 references
- Tell EVERYONE that you are looking for a teaching job.
February/March/April-Summer
Start looking in local newspapers for job listings
Go online and see if the school systems you are interested list their openings on their website
Attend Job Fairs, networking events, etc.
Continue to revise and update resume
Schedule a mock interview and prepare for interviews

Federal Job Search Tips
Applying for a federal job requires you to take a different approach and adhere to a different set of rules and techniques.
The federal resume looks different from most standard resumes. See the difference and get more tips at GoGovernment.org!
To write your federal resume, we strongly suggest using the Resume Builder available on USAJOBS.gov. It will guide you through the resume writing process, ensuring that you do not leave out important pieces of your application. It also allows you to store multiple resumes, so that you can tailor each one to a different position. The Resume Builder will also eliminate decorative formatting by generating a template that looks the same for every applicant, ensuring a fair and equal process.
- It often contains personal information such as your full name, mailing address with ZIP code, phone numbers, Social Security Number, country of citizenship, reinstatement eligibility and civilian grade.
- Include the job series you are applying for.
- You must give the telephone numbers of previous employers, position(s) you held, numbers of hours per week and salary, also indicate whether it is OK to contact listed employers.
- Write your educational qualifications in chronological order, starting from high school to college. Include the name and city of each institution, and the type and year of diploma/degree received.
- If your education and/or experience does not exactly match the qualifications as advertised, you can still qualify by explicitly spelling out your previous experience and how it relates to the job at hand. Explain why you think the job qualifications are similar by giving concrete examples such as software used, etc.
