The Career Development Center, CDC, can help with all related job search needs for students searching for teaching positions! The job search for teachers is slightly different than other majors. Applying to teaching positions usually includes the development of a self-managed placement file. This file is a valuable tool for the job seeker. The file includes job related reference letters, resumes, and other information.
During your second phase of student teaching you should plan to attend a Teacher Employment Preparation Workshop. The workshop is offered several times during the year and is designed to familiarize you with the job application process and to provide information on how to self- manage your placement file paperwork. The CDC uses a career management system called RunnerLink to post jobs and announce events. You will find the dates & times for the next Employment Preparation Workshop as well as other helpful career related information on RunnerLink.
The CDC provides full service job search support including resume development, job search strategy creation, interview practice to help you maximize your marketability. We invite you to schedule an appointment with a career counselor.
The CDC has developed a Teacher Candidate Guide that provides examples of resumes, cover letters, interview and job search preparation tips.
