As you set off on your quest to find your ideal teaching job, you\u2019ll want to ensure you stand out as a strong candidate. To do this, consider taking advantage of a few suggestions listed below to increase your marketability.<\/strong> Before we get started, let’s define “marketability”:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The following recommendations may help you catch the eye of hiring school districts.<\/p>\n Depending on where you live, it\u2019s very likely you\u2019ll need to factor in commute time to your job search. Open a map application on your web browser or smartphone and calculate how long it will take to travel to and from your potential place of work. Make sure to adjust the leaving time, as traveling during peak hours may add time to your commute. While it\u2019s important to determine a reasonable commute time, make sure not to limit your search area drastically. If your search radius is too narrow, you will limit your job options. If you find this to be the case, consider expanding your search.<\/p>\n While you may have your heart set on working at a specific school, keep in mind the main objective \u2013 especially during the first couple of years \u2013 is to gain experience! The more flexible you are regarding location, the more options you will have. Rural districts generally tend to have more open positions and a smaller applicant pool. As you gain experience, you can always continue to apply for more competitive positions!<\/p>\nLocation: Keep an Open Mind<\/strong><\/h2>\n
