I'm interviewing at an all-girls' high school/academy tomorrow at 11 am in Elizabeth, NJ... please pray for safe travels there and back and a good interview! The school is EXTREMELY impressive - new, top-notch technology, very talented/service-/leadership-oriented students... I hope they would find me a good fit! The position is for an English teacher (I'm not sure for which grades specifically, but it's a high school so in general grades 9-12). The website answered a lot of questions I would normally ask, so I have to go back to the drawing board and see what I can ask the principal tomorrow. I was lucky I got this interview scheduled in so quickly! The director of my program called me and told me about this school looking for an English teacher, so that luckily got me an in with the school.
*Update*
I also found another school in Newark that is looking for a 10th and 11th grade English teacher for American/British literature... I sent my resume there and a cover letter just a few hours ago, so we'll have to see if I hear back from them. I think I'm going to start applying to elementary schools now... I have mostly been focusing on high schools since that is the age group I want to teach, but I also am comfortable with middle school. There are SO many elementary schools out there that I will probably have more options. I'm getting to the bottom of my list with high schools, and it seems that not too many are hiring. I'll be sending my resume in anyway, but I figure I should spend my energy and drive where I may actually get hired more immediately than not.
Wish me luck! :)


Good luck! You can do it!
