How to Land that Teacher Job!

I landed my first teacher job by luck. Many people out there have such a hard time getting job, that it seems you either need to know the right people, or you need a pocket full of LUCK. When it comes down to it, you just need to be in the right place at the right time. So what do you need to do? GET OUT THERE!! Be in ALL the places ALL the time, and then you will eventually find your job. Trust me! It took me several years to get my job, and I feel like that happened for a reason.
I landed my first teaching job because I possess the qualities needed to make up a good teacher. I feel that I am very creative. I like to think outside of the box, and I hope that that shows in my teaching. I like to learn, and so coming up with cool ways to present information is one of my goals to help stuents also enjoy to learn.
I know that getting a teaching job is not easy, but here is some advice to make it a little easier for you. Be agressive. Be assertive. Be positive. If you get your face out there-- mainly by subsituting and interviewing often-- then schools will get to know you. Once they know you and your teaching style, they will naturally want you as a part of their team. It may take time, and I know that can be discouraging. But, trust me, in the end it will be worth it. :)
