But no job yet... Posted by Tracy on 8/18/08 Let me make a recommendation: Contact a professor who is at the university you got your credential. Hopefully, it would be one who knows you personally. Subbing 8 years is NOT NECESSARY. Something is missing from your skill set. Ask yourself: 1. Do I have at least 2 or 3 good letters of recommendation that are current? 2. Did I complete all testing requirements including the CTEL exam (or equivalent work). 3. Did I offend someone at the district who influences hiring (principal, vice principal, influential teachers)? 4. Do I have a skill which will help me be desirable: fluent in Spanish, add on credential like Reading Recovery, credentialled in Math and/or Natural Sciences. I would get to the bottom of this. You are working for low pay and likely without benefits. Kids don't treat subs well. You deserve a career with benefits and retirement. Talk to a professor soon or better yet, a principal on your side, and find out what is WRONG. Otherwise, I would switch careers. Teaching is not worth this.
