I've completed my curriculum vitae (Resumé) and sent out two applications. One to a school that I really would like to get a job at, the other to a school that looks good but I don't know too much about.I'm taking the approach that it's important for me to start working at a place that I will really want to be at. Kind of like applying for any other job really - why would you work somewhere you don't think you'd enjoy?
Some fellow graduates are taking the 'send-out-as-many-applications-as-you-can' approach. I'm not too sure about that? Although my situation (Male, ICT savey, good grades, 'mature') puts me in a position where I could be in more demand as a primary teacher - but still... why would you want a job at a school that didn't match your own philosophy of teaching?
Anyway. Two applications out and one principal has already phoned me back before the application close off date. That's a good sign that my curriculum vitae helped me through stage one! We'll see how things progress. I would prefer the other school though - is that too fussy?
Have a look at a copy of my CV if you want.
