@thepresentteacher: When I started applying for my first teaching position, I did all the wrong things: ❌ I spent hours compiling lists of dozens of positions ❌ I sent the same generic cover letter and resume to all of them ❌ I tied my worth as a teacher to whether or not I got hired After just one week, I was exhausted. Everyone in my cohort was still searching. And I started to wonder if I’d ever get hired… or just be left behind. But then — I made a different decision: ✨ I got clear on what my dream district would feel like ✨ I narrowed my focus to just 3 aligned districts ✨ I created tailored resumes + cover letters based on our shared values ✨ And I reminded myself: not getting hired yet didn’t mean I wasn’t a good teacher While others were chasing positions… I chose to align and attract the right one. The next week? Two districts called me. Both offered me the job on the spot. That strategy became the foundation of what I started teaching in 2022. And it completely changed how new teachers felt about interviewing. They started saying interviews felt like passionate convos over coffee — not interrogations. Later, I added done-for-you templates to make it even easier… So you could stop tweaking resumes all summer — and finally relax poolside, waiting for your classroom keys. I’ve only opened these templates to the public once before. But as I asked myself how I could best support new teachers this summer — the answer was obvious. The Teacher Interview Bundle was clearly it. So, here you go! The bundle is marked at a special summer-only price. So if you’re ready to attract, not chase your dream district, I would love to send them to you. Comment “Interview Bundle” and I’ll DM you the link. ✨ #firstyearteacher #newteacher #studentteacher #teacherinterview #teacherinterviewtips
