Long Time No Blog

Well, it has been a while since I have put anything here. I have been pretty busy and haven't really had much to say.

This weekend I have been working on getting my resume out to a lot of schools. Both my mentor as well as a middle school Assistant Principal who works at my part time job suggested that I begin sending out resumes. For now I have decided to focus on middle schools, as I believe that I will enjoy working in a middle school more than a high school. However, due to the conditions of the job market, I will be applying to High Schools as well.

I purchased (expensive) resume paper and envelopes and will be sending out my resumes to the schools closest to my home, along with a cover letter. I hope to make a good impression with them. I also found some thank you cards on clearance from the same people who make the resume paper which I can send out after job fairs or interviews.

Each school does its own hiring and it may be done by a variety of people (principal, assistant principal, or any other sort of administrative position) so it is hard to tell which schools are more receptive to mailed resumes or just search the database of applicants. Either way, it can't hurt!
